Aachen, Germany | R&D | Full-time

At LenioBio, we’re not just doing cell-free science, we’re reinventing it. With our proprietary ALiCE® technology, a first-of-its-kind eukaryotic cell-free protein expression platform, we’re turning the impossible into reality: from complex difficult-to-express proteins, antibodies & bispecific, vaccines, VLPs, non-canonical amino acids, and beyond. We are here to express the future, today!

What you’ll do

• Be our go-to expert for DNA design, coding, and template strategies.
• Explore the world of RNA and protein translation, with a focus on RNA polymerase.
• Drive experiments that expand ALiCE’s capabilities from concept to data and applications.
• Collaborate with customers, partners, and internal teams to translate science into tangible and real impacts.
• Mentor and inspire colleagues while staying hands-on at the bench.

What you bring

• PhD (or equivalent experience) in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or related field.
• Postdoc or at least 3 years of industry experience (cell-based or even better cell-free systems) is a strong plus.
• Passion for science at the bench, creative, independent, and solution-driven.
• Experience in DNA libraries, RNA, or protein translation workflows.
• Bonus: exposure to plant biology.
• Strong communication skills in English (German a plus, not mandatory).

Why join us

• Work at the cutting edge of protein expression and synthetic biology.
• Freedom to shape projects, influence strategy, and see your work directly impact the future of biotech.
• Exposure at conferences around the world and experiencing our network, partners and customers.
• An international, passionate, and collaborative team.
• Competitive package, career development, and the chance to grow with a fast-scaling biotech.
