We are building the early foundations of a new venture and are looking for a motivated applicant to join the project at a formative stage. The role is designed for someone interested in contributing to the development of a potential spin off, should the project demonstrate traction and should there be strong mutual alignment. The successful candidate will be responsible for collection and processing of eDNA samples from a range of different environments, as well as development, testing, and optimization of molecular reactions and detection methods under both laboratory and field conditions. This includes executing and refining molecular biology workflows, independently troubleshooting experiments, and improving robustness and reproducibility. The role further involves supporting the generation of high-quality, reproducible data suitable for intellectual property (IP) development, regulatory pathways and potential commercial use. The technician will work closely with the project lead to shape technical direction, set priorities, and iteratively refine the platform. Given the applied nature of the project, the position also requires collaboration with external partners and the ability to communicate clearly with various stakeholders as the project matures and demonstrates scientific and commercial viability.
