Outstanding human

About the position

Biology doesn't happen in a vacuum. The most exciting breakthroughs occur at the intersections of different disciplines. We are constantly looking for outstanding humans who refuses to stay in a "silo" and instead views the world through a lens of relentless curiosity.

What Defines You

We aren't looking for a checklist of degrees; we are looking for a specific type of thinker.

• The "Why" Factor: You have a deep-seated need to understand how things work at a fundamental level. You don’t just follow a protocol; you question it, optimize it, and seek to understand the "why" behind every result.
• Cross-Pollinator: You enjoy speaking the "languages" of other departments. You are just as comfortable brainstorming with a software engineer or a hardware designer as you are with a fellow biologist.
• Synthesis Specialist: You have a knack for taking insights from unrelated fields—physics, design, or even social sciences—and applying them to biological challenges.
• Active Learner: You view a gap in your knowledge as an invitation, not a barrier. You thrive in the "uncomfortable" phase of learning something new.

What You’ve Done (So Far)

• Earned a background in Biology or a related field, but supplemented it with interests in software, bioinformatics, or engineering.
• Demonstrated a track record of solving problems by looking "outside the box" of traditional life sciences.
• Showcased an ability to adapt your technical approach when faced with unconventional data or shifting project goals.

Why Join Us?

• Autonomy: We hire "outstanding humans" that align with our mission. You’ll have the freedom to steer your projects.
• Impact: Your work will directly contribute to accelerating biotechnology in Canada, and beyond. You'll see your impact on a daily basis, and have the opportunity to innovate as we grow.
• Culture of Curiosity: We host weekly "failure forums" and "blue-sky sessions" to keep the spirit of discovery alive.
