About Willow Biosciences: Willow Biosciences is a synthetic biology company that develops and produces precision fermented ingredients for the health and wellness, food and beverage, and personal care markets. Willow’s FutureGrownTM and BioOxiTM platforms were built to revolutionize industrial manufacturing of pure, consistent, and sustainable ingredients with sustainability at its core. Willow’s R&D team engineer organisms to produce plant-, animal-, and petrochemical-derived ingredients through precision fermentation. Our fully integrated processes are more sustainable, secure, and cost-effective than traditional extraction or chemical synthesis routes and typically provide products of higher purity and yield.
Mission, Values and Beliefs: It is rewarding to work at a company where people genuinely believe in what they are doing. At Willow Biosciences, we are committed to bringing high-purity functional ingredients to market through scalable and cost-effective bio-based processes. We work hard, we are serious about what we do, and we like to have fun while we are at it!
Position: Scientist, Computational Biology:
We are seeking a motivated computational biologist with bioinformatics and data science experience to drive engineering efforts for biosynthesis and biotransformation processes using microorganisms, specifically yeast. You will support Willow’s multidisciplinary team engaged in enzyme engineering, strain engineering and process development using a state-of-the-art computational platform. Your primary role will be to provide data-driven design of libraries for enzyme and strain engineering, as well as integrating the resulting HTP screening data with data obtained through process optimization. Previous experience working in a laboratory setting and working with bench scientists is essential as you will be collaborating closely with our molecular biologists, analytical chemists, fermentation scientists and process chemists to understand, interpret, integrate, and develop bioinformatic analyses in multiple contexts. A strong desire to work in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment is preferred.
Location: Sunnyvale, CA US
Education: MSc/PhD in Computational Biology, Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Systems Biology, Bioinformatics, or similar field; interdisciplinary work is strongly encouraged. A combination of strong wet lab skills and computational knowledge is preferred.
Experience: 3 years' experience analyzing biological data, examples include genomics, RNA-seq, and NGS preferably within the biotechnology industry. Knowledge of best practices for collaborative software development (version control systems, test-driven development, and good documentation habits). Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in bioinformatics and computational biology, including R and Python.
