Do you want to join us?

We are always looking for people who want to enter the synthetic biology field. We have trained physicists, electrical engineers, mathematicians and software developers before, and we believe the field needs more of them. It does not matter if you have no lab experience. We want candidates with strong mathematical and coding skills, who are not afraid of learning new things or doing experiments, really passionate about biology, and who want to work for the general benefit of society. 

If that sounds like you, send us an email and your resume to hgmartin@lbl.gov
