at Adaptyvbio
Lausanne, United StatesOn-site
Responsibilities
- Troubleshoot when proteins don't express, misfold, or aggregate. - Design and execute DNA synthesis and assembly protocols: PCR, Golden Gate, Gibson.
- Improve yield, fidelity, and throughput. - Develop new assays or adapt existing ones for the platform - thermostability, developability, enzyme activity, or whatever the next customer need demands. - Run experiments yourself.
Requirements
- Adaptyv is building an automated lab thats let AI agents run biology experiments.
- We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results.
- We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world.
- We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward.
- We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.
- WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - MSc or PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, or a related field.
- Hands-on depth matters most - years at the bench doing real molecular biology counts more than the degree title. - Practical protein expression and purification skills.
- Experience with DNA synthesis, cloning, or assembly methods (PCR, Golden Gate, Gibson). High-throughput
Additional details
- But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process.
- This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today.
- ABOUT THE ROLE This is a hands-on research role in our biology and production team.
- You'll work on the science that underpins everything Adaptyv does: developing and optimizing protein expression systems, running molecular biology workflows, and pushing the boundaries of what we can produce and characterize at scale.
- We express proteins at high volume across cell-free and cell-based systems, run DNA synthesis and assembly at high throughput, and characterize binding, stability, and function using BLI, SPR, and enzymatic assays.
