Research Fellow - Genetics

Nonfiction Laboratories is a biotechnology startup based in San Francisco, California. We’re a science- and invention-driven company, developing a new platform for magnetogenetic control over therapeutic proteins. By building therapeutics that can be turned on when and where you need the drug, we spare healthy tissue while targeting disease tissue harder. We want to open up an entirely new modality and field of research.

Expect lots of hard work, at the bleeding edge of a new field. We love to collaborate with external colleagues, including many excellent academic laboratories. Nonfiction Laboratories is seeking a talented and motivated candidate to join our team as a Research Associate, focusing on scaling our workflows around building and evaluating our protein engineering libraries. Molecular Biology — PCR (including primer design), minipreps, gels and gel extraction, proper pipette technique, E. coli and yeast culture and transformation.

Cloning — Gibson Assembly, Golden Gate. Colony PCR. Experience using and maintaining an electronic lab notebook (ELN) to track tasks, inventory status, and periodic project updates.

Ability to work on-site in our laboratory in San Francisco.

Bonus for kinetic and cell-based ELISAs.

Experience independently planning library diversification protocols (e.g., site-directed mutagenesis, linker screens, transposase libraries).

Experience with protein purification preps.

Basic programming skills (Python) for data analysis, primer design, and automation scripting.

Nonfiction Labs is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
