Opportunity Description
**Job Description**
**Field of research** :
Protein engineering, synthetic biology, and biochemical tool development with emphasis on optogenetically controlled RNA/DNA polymerases, programmable nucleic-acid writing, and in vitro assay systems for polymerase activity, specificity, and error control.
**Purpose of the research project(s):**
To build and execute the experimental pipeline for engineering and characterizing light-responsive RNA polymerase systems. The position will support molecular cloning, protein production, and cell-free functional assays needed to generate sponsor-facing milestones and publications on optogenetic polymerase control, sequence-programmed RNA synthesis, and related protein-sensor technologies.
**Job Duties and Responsibilities:**
- Molecular cloning and construct generation – 25%
Design and build plasmids for engineered T7 polymerases, optogenetic domains, protein binders, reporters, and assay...
