Adaptyv Bio

Adaptyv is building an automated lab that lets AI agents run biology experiments. We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world. We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today. Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development. We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a skilled Lab Technician to join our Biology team. You'll run our molecular biology and protein production workflows — cloning, transformation, expression, and purification — keeping high-quality, reproducible output flowing to support our protein engineering pipeline. You'll work hands-on with automation and liquid handling, helping turn manual protocols into reliable, high-throughput processes. RESPONSIBILITIES * Perform molecular cloning workflows: PCR, Golden Gate and Gibson assembly, transformation, and colony screening. * Run protein expression across bacterial and/or mammalian systems, and carry out protein purification and quality control. * Execute QC of constructs and proteins (gel/capillary electrophoresis, Sanger sequencing, SDS-PAGE, and related assays). * Run biophysical and functional characterization assays — binding kinetics, thermostability, and related readouts — to assess expressed proteins, and help bring new assays online and optimize them for throughput. * Prepare reagents, buffers, and reaction mixes according to established SOPs. * Operate and support automated liquid handling and lab automation where workflows are automated. * Track samples, inventory, and consumables to keep lab operations running uninterrupted. * Document experimental parameters and results to ensure reproducibility, traceability, and data integrity. * Contribute to troubleshooting, optimizing, and scaling molecular biology and protein production workflows. QUALIFICATIONS * BS or MS in Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Life Science Engineering, or a related field. * At least 1 year of hands-on laboratory experience in molecular biology (academic or industry). * Proficiency with core techniques: PCR, molecular cloning, transformation, DNA purification, and gel or capillary electrophoresis. Protein expression and purification experience is a strong plus. * Exposure to protein characterization or binding assays (e.g. BLI, SPR, ELISA, thermostability, or similar) is a plus. * Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to follow and execute protocols with precision. * Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-throughput environment. * Experience with laboratory automation or liquid handling systems is a plus. DETAILS * Location: Lausanne, Switzerland (on-site) * Type: Full time * Start date: ASAP We review applications on a rolling basis. Application deadline We are reviewing applicants on a rolling basis.

SVERIGES LANTBRUKSUNIVERSITET

Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment Third-cycle subject area Biology Description of the doctoral project   Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing global health challenges of our time. A key driver of AMR spread is the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes via conjugative plasmids — mobile genetic elements that move between bacteria. Plasmid-dependent phages (PDPs) are viruses that specifically infect bacteria carrying these plasmids, making them a potentially powerful but largely overlooked tool in controlling resistance gene transmission. This PhD project is part of ECOPHARM, a research project funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (Wallenberg Academy Fellows 2025) and is based at the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment, SLU Uppsala. The overarching aim of ECOPHARM is to decipher the mechanisms driving PDP interactions with conjugative plasmids and bacterial hosts, and to understand their impact on antibiotic resistance gene transmission in aquatic environments. As a PhD student, you will investigate the diversity, ecology, and functional interactions of plasmid-dependent phages in aquatic ecosystems. The work will combine environmental sampling, cultivation-based approaches, metagenomics, genome analysis, and experimental infection assays. You will work in a dynamic and internationally connected research environment at the intersection of microbial ecology, virus-host coevolution, and AMR research. To learn more about our research you can check out our webpage https://www.bionomics-mmlab.com/ About the position The PhD student will be expected to: Design and carry out field sampling of aquatic environments to characterize PDP communities Perform laboratory experiments to study PDP–plasmid–host interactions under controlled conditions Apply metagenomic and bioinformatic tools to analyze microbial and viral community data Contribute to experimental work on phage isolation, cultivation, and infection assays Present findings at lab meetings, national and international conferences, and contribute to scientific publications Adhere to lab policies on data management practices Communicate progress and bottlenecks timely and clearly Collaborate with national and international project partners within the ECOPHARM network Requirements To meet the general entry requirements you must have been awarded a second-cycle (Master's) qualification, satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad (Higher Education Ordinance 1993:100, Chapter 7, Section 39).
