About the Role

SURVICE Engineering is seeking a Biotechnology Researcher for Microbial Genetic/Synthetic Biology Engineering to support our Aberdeen Research Operation, accelerating your career and becoming an integral team member within the defense community.

Responsibilities

Design and execute the development of genetic circuits and constructs in microorganisms for the production of bio-derived molecules and materials.
Execute protocols for the engineering of microorganisms, planning and executing workflows for microbial growth and engineering using sterile techniques in a BSL-2 laboratory.
Conduct measurements of microbial performance using state-of-the-art methods.
Design and execute experiments to monitor microbial activity in engineered strains using microscopy, fluorescence analysis, or enzymatic/molecular assays.
Familiarity with laboratory automation and development of automated workflows and data analysis for microbial engineering.
Set up and maintain microbial cultures in specified environments using sterile technique, autoclaving equipment, nutrient broth and agar plate preparation, inoculation, culture management, biohazardous waste disposal, and preparation of frozen stocks.
Ensure preparation and safe handling of hazardous chemicals.
Use techniques for the quantification, synthesis, purification, and assembly of DNA such as PCR, enzymatic kits for DNA manipulation, and gel electrophoresis.
Handle genetically engineered strains via electroporation and preparation of electrocompetent cells, use of antibiotics for clone selection, and testing for the presence of introduced genes.
Properly use instruments for fluorescence observations via flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, or plate reader, including sample preparation and fluorescence staining.
Perform enzymatic and molecular assays for kinetic or endpoint analyses.
Optimize protocols that use microbes in combination with material or chemical agents for their functionalization, fixation, immobilization, or entrapment.
Comply with policies on record-keeping and distribution limits for data and technical information.
Prepare and present presentations and written documents summarizing efforts in Government format for Form 1 approval.
Participate in programmatic and technical meetings, both virtually and in-person.
