● Execute, analyze, and troubleshoot experimental methods and results, highlighting your problem-solving abilities and analytical mindset.

● Participate in and contribute to scientific discussions, meetings, and presentations, demonstrating your effective communication and collaboration skills.

● Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team environment, showcasing your ability to work well with diverse teams and disciplines.

We are looking for someone driven by:

● A desire to learn and grow as a scientist, showcasing a commitment to personal and professional development.

● The thrill of building groundbreaking technology, indicating a passion for innovation and advancement.

● Curiosity and a desire to turn scientific ideas into a reality, demonstrating your creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

You will also need to be able to:

● Thrive in a changing but supportive environment, showing adaptability and resilience.

● Work collaboratively in small, cross-disciplinary teams, demonstrating strong teamwork and interpersonal skills.

● Plan and execute experiments with support from senior researchers, indicating your initiative and ability to work under mentorship.

Ideally, we are looking for someone with:

● A BS or MS in biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline, coupled with ideally 1+ years of lab experience, showcasing a strong academic and practical background.

● Experience following protocols and executing experiments in a molecular biology lab, indicating solid practical lab skills.

● Experience performing in vitro nucleic acid-based techniques such as PCR, qPCR, gel electrophoresis, enzymatic treatment, and/or sequencing library prep, demonstrating a range of technical competencies.

● Demonstrated eagerness and ability to quickly learn new techniques, reflecting a proactive and open mindset.

● Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, indicating your ability to work effectively within a team and manage multiple tasks.

● Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary, and rapidly growing biotech environment, demonstrating your ability to adapt and succeed in a dynamic context.

At CATALOG, we challenge you to think critically, work creatively, and conquer uncharted problems in a groundbreaking field. We believe in building an inclusive team with different points of view.
