Actively hiring_Scientist, Genome Engineering Group
Work Detail
This position involves creating genome-modified cells. (Specific Job Responsibilities) ① Genome Design: Understand the genomic information of the target cells and design gRNAs and donor sequences that enable highly efficient and accurate genome modification. Also, optimize gene expression constructs and select transgenes according to the target cells and desired phenotype. ② Genome Modification: To realize the above design, perform gene introduction and culture according to the target cells. Also, perform sequence analysis of cells after genome modification experiments to confirm that the desired genome modification has been implemented as expected. ③ Cell Performance Evaluation: To evaluate whether the created genome-modified cells have the intended function, construct and implement appropriate evaluation systems according to the cell type and desired phenotype. In genome modification design strategies, we expect you to actively collect and integrate the latest research trends and technical information, while making maximum use of our existing technologies and extensive knowledge, to collaboratively build more optimal and innovative strategies. Immediately after joining the company, you will be working on research led by the current theme leader, so even those with concerns about lack of experience are welcome to apply. We expect you to develop your skills after joining the company and eventually become a theme leader, spearheading the creation of useful cells that can compete globally and the development of cutting-edge technologies. We also welcome you to actively share your achievements with the outside world through academic presentations and other means.
Ideal Profile
Required Skills: * PhD holder or equivalent research experience (Master's degree holders with approximately 3 years of experience in similar research at a company are also acceptable) * Experience in planning research using genome editing technology (experience only as a research assistant or technician assisting with experiments is not eligible) * Teamwork skills * Interest in creating new industries using cutting-edge genome engineering technology * English proficiency sufficient for reading academic papers Preferred Skills: * Experience in genome modification (gRNA, donor sequence design experience, etc.) * Experience in analyzing genome information using genome browsers such as UCSC genome browser or Ensembl (genome construction ability; a concrete example of experience using genome analysis and design tools as described above) * Troubleshooting ability to logically analyze and identify causes and derive solutions when faced with unexpected results or failures * Planning and parallel processing ability to reliably conduct multiple experiments in parallel during spare time * Business-level English proficiency * Experience collaborating with external organizations * We also collaborate with teams promoting automation and AI, and applications from those interested in these fields are welcome. Desired Candidate Profile: - Cooperative individuals - Individuals who can report, communicate, and consult about failures and unfortunate events without hiding them
What we especially look for in a PhD or postdoctoral fellow
- PhD holders or those with equivalent research experience (Master's degree holders are also acceptable if they have approximately 3 years of experience in similar research work at a company).
