In this specialist role, you’ll be at the forefront of our work, leading projects in gene synthesis, CRISPR-based mutagenesis, and engineered antibody production. Hands-on experience with Phage display and Yeast display is desirable. You will have the autonomy to manage your own research projects, mentor a dedicated team, and collaborate with leading experts.

We value a “can-do” attitude, a commitment to precision, and the drive to solve complex challenges. Join us and be part of a culture that celebrates curiosity, supports continuous learning, and pushes the boundaries of molecular biology.

Role : Specialist – Molecular Biology

Job Location : Miyapur, Hyderabad

Qualification : PhD/Postdoc in Molecular Biology/Biotechnology with 2 to 6 Years of experience.

What You’ll Do:

As a Specialist in our Molecular Biology team, you will:

• Design and Execute Projects: Independently design and execute a variety of molecular biology strategies to produce engineered antibodies, enzymes, structural and reagent proteins, and mutant strains.
• Lead with Expertise: Utilize your deep knowledge in areas like gene synthesis, cloning, vector design, and mutagenesis. Experience with CRISPR-based prokaryotic mutants, antibody gene sequencing, and protein engineering is essential.
• Innovate and Problem-Solve: Apply your expertise in sequence data analysis, gene expression (using Real-time PCR), and protein engineering to solve complex challenges.
• Manage End-to-End Processes: Oversee the entire process from plasmid production and purification to strain and metabolic engineering. Experience with microbial, yeast, and fungal strains is highly valued.
• Lead and Mentor: Lead and motivate a team of molecular biologists, setting high standards for technical content, R&D, and data integrity.
• Collaborate and Communicate: Work effectively with cross-functional teams, senior management, and clients to present data, share project updates, and ensure project success.

What We’re Looking For:

Technical Skills & Experience:

• Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or Life Sciences.
• 2-3 years of hands-on industrial or academic experience.
• Proven experience in designing and executing complex molecular biology projects.
• In-depth knowledge of gene synthesis, cloning, and vector design.
• Experience in generating CRISPR-based mutants in prokaryotes is a must.
• Expertise in sequence data analysis and gene expression analysis (Real-time PCR).
• Experience with plasmid production and chromatographic purification is desirable.
• Knowledge of Phage/Yeast display libraries is a plus.
• Familiarity with automation and high-throughput instrumentation is preferred.

Non-Technical Skills:

• Leadership: Proven ability to lead and motivate a team, manage projects independently, and make timely, cost-effective decisions.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex scientific concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior management and clients.
• Adaptability: A “can-do” attitude with the flexibility to occasionally work weekends and contribute to the team’s success.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous in documentation, data compilation, and maintaining high standards for safety and data integrity.
• Results-Oriented: A proactive approach to problem-solving and a strong drive to achieve project objectives within deadlines.
