Description
Prolific Machines is ushering in a new era of biotechnology with light. Our first-of-its-kind optogenetic platform delivers unprecedented control, precisely guiding cellular behavior when and where it matters most. Unlike existing tools used to control biology, our technology enables dynamic, tunable control over virtually any cellular function in any cell type. We're enabling partners to unlock robust efficiency, quality, and reproducibility advantages across the most complex pharmaceuticals and therapeutic proteins. Prolific is supported by leading investors, including Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Mayfield and SOSV.
We are seeking a motivated Research Associate II or Senior Research Associate to join our Automation/Cell Line Development (CLD) team, with a focus on laboratory automation and high-throughput workflows. In this role, you will develop and optimize automated workflows to support cell line development, contribute to pipeline projects, and conduct experiments to improve the performance of our optogenetic Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines. You will work at the intersection of laboratory automation, cell culture, and molecular biology, helping improve the efficiency, scalability, and reproducibility of our CLD processes. This role is based on-site at our headquarters in Emeryville, CA.
