At the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT), we’re on a mission to translate scientific discovery into real world impact. We bring together visionary scientists, technologists, engineers, researchers, educators and innovators to tackle humanity’s greatest challenges in four transformative areas: Health, Medical Science & Generative Biology Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture Climate Change & Managing CO₂ Artificial Intelligence & Robotics This is ambitious work - work that demands curiosity, courage, and a relentless drive to make a difference. At EIT, you’ll join a community built on excellence, innovation, tenacity, trust, and collaboration, where bold ideas become real-world breakthroughs. Together, we push boundaries, embrace complexity, and create solutions to scale ideas from lab to society. Welcome to the Generative Biology Institute: Led by Founding Director Jason Chin, the Generative Biology Institute (GBI) at the Ellison Institute of Technologyis tackling the key challenges in making biology engineerable, and thereby releasing the unrivalled power of biology for the benefit of humanity. The vision of GBI is to lay the foundations for engineering biology, and unlock its potential for good. To achieve this, we must overcome two key challenges. First, we need the ability to write in the natural language of biology, enabling the rapid and scalable synthesis of entire genomes with precision. Second, we must understand what to write - determining which DNA sequences will generate biological systems that perform the desired functions. Addressing these challenges will allow us to harness the full power of biology to create transformative solutions across health, agriculture, clean energy and more. The Generative Biology Institute commenced operations in 2025, occupying newly renovated bespoke space in the Oxford Science Park. The team will later move to a purpose-made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state-of-the-art facility will include more than 40,000 m² of research laboratory and office space. It will house over 30 groups and up to 600 employees at scale, focused on solving the two critical challenges in making biology engineerable and applying the solutions to addressing the global challenges encapsulated in EIT’s Humane Endeavours. The AI & Robotics Team The AI & Robotics team at EIT brings together AI research, robotics and scientific expertise to make biological matter computable and testable, at scale, and by any scientist. We build generative and predictive models of biological molecules and systems, physics-grounded simulation and design tools, and autonomous laboratories that generate the data these models learn from and test the designs they propose. Project Monera You will be joining the projectMonera, a joint project across the Generative Biology Institute and the AI & Robotics team building multi-modal generative models of whole organisms, starting with Escherichia coli in order to understand and predict an organism's phenotype from its genome and environment and, in time, to design genomes for a desired function. The team works as one integrated computational and experimental group: experimentalists generate genetic variation and quantitative measurements at scale (growth and fitness, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics), the models are trained and validated on that data, and the results shape the next round of experiments and insights. The experimental work is based in GBI's laboratories in the Oxford Science Park, alongside GBI's automation capability and in daily contact with the AI scientists in the AI & Robotics team. Job Summary We are building a joint experimental computational team focussed on building, training and validating multi-modal biological models. The team will: i) generate experimental perturbation and measurement data at scale, ii) build multi-modal biological models and, iii) use the experimental data they generate to train and validate the multi-modal biological models they build. In this role you will: i) perform experimental genome engineering work to generate genetic variation at scale and/or ii) design and implement scalable biological measurement over one or more modalities. Where appropriate the work will leverage the substantial automation capability within the institute. Your work will be performed under the guidance of Jason Chin. You will be part of a single team composed of AI scientists and synthetic biologists working together. We are looking for colleagues with deep expertise in genome engineering and/or quantitative phenotyping of model bacterial species such as Escherichia coli . The role requires the ability and willingness to work as part of a cross-disciplinary team at the interface of computational and wetlab biology. Our team ethos is based on mutual learning, strong peer-to-peer support, and a deep sense of scientific curiosity and ambition. This is your opportunity to be part of cutting-edge research within an institute dedicated to engineering biology at an unprecedented scale. You will be leveraging GBI’s exceptional facilities, sustained funding, and collaborative environment. You will design and execute experiments, contribute to high-impact publications, and play a key role in the training and mentorship of junior researchers and students. Working at the interface of biology, AI, technology, and engineering, you will help shape GBI’s vision to reimagine what’s possible in biology. Key Responsibilities: Design, execute, and troubleshoot experiments, including the development of novel methodologies and adaptation of existing techniques to new applications. In particular, the successful applicant will utilise genome engineering strategies in the lab to produce a diversity of microbial strains as the source of training and validation data in a high throughput fashion. In addition, they will also design and prototype a range of experimental measurement strategies for characterising these strains at scale. Collaborate with other GBI scientists from other groups expert in synthetic biology, automation, bioinformatics, -omics and machine learning, and AI scientists from the AIR institute, as required. Analyse complex datasets using computational and statistical tools, interpreting results in the context of broader research goals. Contribute intellectually to the research direction by identifying opportunities for innovation and refining research questions.

At EIT, you’ll join a community built on excellence, innovation, tenacity, trust, and collaboration, where bold ideas become real-world breakthroughs. Together, we push boundaries, embrace complexity, and create solutions to scale ideas from lab to society. Welcome to the Generative Biology Institute: Led by Founding Director Jason Chin, the Generative Biology Institute (GBI) at the Ellison Institute of Technology is tackling the key challenges in making biology engineerable, and thereby unlocking the unrivalled power of biology for the benefit of humanity. The vision of the GBI is to lay the foundations for engineering biology, and unlock its potential for good. To achieve this, we must overcome two key challenges. First, we need the ability to write in the natural language of biology, enabling the rapid and scalable synthesis of entire genomes with precision. Second, we must understand what to write - determining which DNA sequences will generate biological systems that perform the desired functions. Addressing these challenges will allow us to harness the full power of biology to create transformative solutions across health, agriculture, clean energy and more. The Generative Biology Institute commenced operations in 2025, occupying newly renovated bespoke space in the Oxford Science Park. The team will later move to a purpose‑made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state‑of‑the‑art facility will include more than 40,000 m² of research laboratory and office space. It will house over 30 groups and up to 600 employees at scale, focused on solving the two critical challenges in making biology engineerable and applying the solutions to addressing the global challenges encapsulated in EIT’s Humane Endeavours. The Zuercher Lab We are seeking ambitious, creative, and highly skilled Postdoctoral Researchers to join the Zuercher Lab at GBI. The Zuercher Lab, led by Principal Investigator Jerome Zuercher, focuses on two interconnected areas, with many projects involving aspects of both topics (Genome synthesis and Genetic Isolation). Genetic Isolation A direct consequence of the universality of the genetic code is the possibility for genetic information to be transferred between evolutionarily distant species. Such horizontal transfer of genetic information (as opposed to vertical genetic transfer, where information is passed on from an organism to its progeny) is common in nature and has shaped evolution over billions of years. In the context of genetic engineering, however, this type of genetic spillover is highly concerning. Prevention of interference of artificial genetic information with natural biology is critical to allow biotechnological progress to be both safe and ambitious. Furthermore, biotechnology will play a central role in addressing pressing challenges in food security, pharmaceutical development, sustainable fuel sources, and efficient carbon fixation. Thus, essential parts of the economy will increasingly rely on bioproduction facilities harbouring tailor‑made microbes. It is therefore critical that such facilities are extremely reliable. However, due to the universality of the genetic code, engineered organisms are just as susceptible to viral invasion as natural organisms. In fact, a single viral particle that finds its way into a bioproduction facility can force its operational shutdown. Altering the genetic code of a cell provides an opportunity to render natural and synthetic genetic information incompatible. This breakthrough offers a means to protect the environment from genetically engineered organisms and, vice versa, engineered organisms critical for bioproduction from viral invasion. Through concerted efforts in genome recoding and translational engineering, it was possible to create the first organism with a synthetic genetic code. Since this organism “speaks a different language” than organisms found in nature, it is genetically isolated; it can neither give nor receive genetic information from the environment. The lab continues the development of altered genetic codes to increase the safety of biotechnology and aims to rewrite even the most complex biological systems in alternative synthetic genetic codes. Genome synthesis Our ability to write DNA has recently expanded to the genomic scale. The possibility of defining every single base in the genome of a cell enables manipulation of the most fundamental cellular properties, such as the genetic code. However, current genome synthesis methods are slow, narrow in scope, and limited in scale. To date, the genomes of only two bacteria have been successfully synthesized. This project aims to develop methodologies to make the synthesis of model organism genomes (i.e. E. coli) more rapid and enable the synthesis of the genomes of non‑model bacteria to broaden the scope of genome synthesis. The ability to routinely synthesize the genomes of a diverse set of organisms will not only allow reprogramming of the genetic code but also facilitate testing of generative genome designs. Ultimately, the combination of microbial genome synthesis and artificial intelligence will enable biological design at the organism scale with implications in bioproduction, human health, agriculture, and beyond.

At the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT), we’re on a mission to translate scientific discovery into real world impact. We bring together visionary scientists, technologists, engineers, researchers, educators and innovators to tackle humanity’s greatest challenges in four transformative areas: • Health, Medical Science & Generative Biology, • Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture, • Climate Change & Managing CO₂, • Artificial Intelligence & Robotics This is ambitious work - work that demands curiosity, courage, and a relentless drive to make a difference. At EIT, you’ll join a community built on excellence, innovation, tenacity, trust, and collaboration, where bold ideas become real-world breakthroughs. Together, we push boundaries, embrace complexity, and create solutions to scale ideas from lab to society. Led by Founding Director Jason Chin, the Generative Biology Institute (GBI) at the Ellison Institute of Technology is tackling the key challenges in making biology engineerable, and thereby unlocking the unrivalled power of biology for the benefit of humanity. The vision of the GBI is to lay the foundations for engineering biology, and unlock its potential for good. To achieve this, we must overcome two key challenges. First, we need the ability to write in the natural language of biology, enabling the rapid and scalable synthesis of entire genomes with precision. Second, we must understand what to write – determining which DNA sequences will generate biological systems that perform the desired functions. Addressing these challenges will allow us to harness the full power of biology to create transformative solutions across health, agriculture, clean energy and more. The Generative Biology Institute commenced operations in 2025, occupying newly renovated bespoke space in the Oxford Science Park. The team will later move to a purpose‑made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state‑of‑the‑art facility will include more than 40,000 m² of research laboratory and office space. It will house over 30 groups and up to 600 employees at scale, focused on solving the two critical challenges in making biology engineerable and applying the solutions to addressing the global challenges encapsulated in EIT’s Humane Endeavours. We are seeking ambitious, creative, and highly skilled Postdoctoral Researchers to join the Zuercher Lab at GBI. The Zuercher Lab, led by Principal Investigator Jerome Zuercher, focuses on two interconnected areas, with many projects involving aspects of both topics (Genome synthesis and Genetic Isolation). A direct consequence of the universality of the genetic code is the possibility for genetic information to be transferred between evolutionarily distant species. Such horizontal transfer of genetic information (as opposed to vertical genetic transfer, where information is passed on from an organism to its progeny) is common in nature and has shaped evolution over billions of years. In the context of genetic engineering, however, this type of genetic spillover is highly concerning. Prevention of interference of artificial genetic information with natural biology is critical to allow biotechnological progress to be both safe and ambitious. Furthermore, biotechnology will play a central role in addressing pressing challenges in food security, pharmaceutical development, sustainable fuel sources, and efficient carbon fixation. Thus, essential parts of the economy will increasingly rely on bioproduction facilities harbouring tailor‑made microbes. It is therefore critical that such facilities are extremely reliable. However, due to the universality of the genetic code, engineered organisms are just as susceptible to viral invasion as natural organisms. In fact, a single viral particle that finds its way into a bioproduction facility can force its operational shutdown. Altering the genetic code of a cell provides an opportunity to render natural and synthetic genetic information incompatible. This breakthrough offers a means to protect the environment from genetically engineered organisms and, vice versa, engineered organisms critical for bioproduction from viral invasion. Through concerted efforts in genome recoding and translational engineering, it was possible to create the first organism with a synthetic genetic code. Since this organism “speaks a different language” than organisms found in nature, it is genetically isolated; it can neither give nor receive genetic information from the environment. The lab continues the development of altered genetic codes to increase the safety of biotechnology and aims to rewrite even the most complex biological systems in alternative synthetic genetic codes. Our ability to write DNA has recently expanded to the genomic scale. The possibility of defining every single base in the genome of a cell enables manipulation of the most fundamental cellular properties, such as the genetic code. However, current genome synthesis methods are slow, narrow in scope, and limited in scale. To date, the genomes of only two bacteria have been successfully synthesized. This project aims to develop methodologies to make the synthesis of model organism genomes (i.e. E. coli) more rapid and enable the synthesis of the genomes of non‑model bacteria to broaden the scope of genome synthesis. The ability to routinely synthesize the genomes of a diverse set of organisms will not only allow reprogramming of the genetic code but also facilitate testing of generative genome designs. Ultimately, the combination of microbial genome synthesis and artificial intelligence will enable biological design at the organism scale with implications in bioproduction, human health, agriculture, and beyond.

You will be collaborating with the scientists who use our systems, the software, robotics, design and AI engineers who build them, and the AIR and program leadership to decide where development goes next. Your role will be to decide which problems are worth solving, find the relevant solutions that solve them, and anticipate how to push these solutions further. You will work with subject matter experts, developers and AI researchers. While your role is not to replace them, you do need to be scientifically fluent enough that scientists trust your read of their work and technically fluent enough that engineers trust your read of solution design and implementation. • Work with scientists to identify and prioritize scientific problems to maximize impact on the research cycle (time from question to result, information gained per experiment, reliability of the outcome), • Act as the “voice of the users” for your team and leadership, to surface needs at three levels: those users state, those they experience but do not articulate and those likely to emerge as throughput, automation or model capability shifts., • Translate needs into problem statements they and the engineers can act on, covering success criteria, constraints from the biology and the hardware, available data, acceptable failure modes, and what a human must sign off. Conversely translate the solution’s capability in limitations into trade-off the users can understand and weigh to make informed decisions., • Advocate for the minimal viable solution addressing the need and quick iteration. Not everything needs an AI model, but it is important to identify when it’s the case. Avoid over‑engineering and low-quality AI‑generated solutions. Identify opportunities from latest developments in AI, robotics, lab automation., • Help identify the dataa solution needs: what exists, its quality and provenance, and the gaps that require new experiments., • Identify product derivation opportunities (tools, services or datasets with value beyond the originating program) and build the early case for them, working with the relevant teams on IP, data rights and commercial considerations., • A background in experimental science, ideally life sciences (including, but not limited to, molecular & cellular biology, microbiology, plant biology), with first‑hand knowledge of how lab work actually runs and where it goes wrong., • Working technical fluency across AI/ML, software and automation. You know which classes of method suit which problems (rules, regression, deep learning, LLM agents) and what data each needs. You can read a model evaluation and spot overfitting, leakage, or a benchmark that does not reflect the bench. While you do not need to build models, ability to autonomously (including AI assisted coding) develop quick prototypes to test hypothesis is a plus., • A history of taking a technical solution from problem framing through to adoption by real users, in an R&D, product or consulting setting., • Structured problem solving and strong quantitative reasoning, including experimental design and working statistics., • Effective communication with academic scientists, engineers and executives alike, including the ability to disagree constructively with each and steer towards consensus, • Comfort with ambiguity and ownership in a growing R&D organization, where requirements are discovered through building., • Experience as a translator, product manager, product owner or technical consultant on AI or data products, ideally scientific ones., • Exposure to laboratory automation, robotics, LIMS or ELN systems., • Experience turning bespoke projects into platform capabilities or products, or exposure to technology transfer, IP or commercialization., • Familiarity with user research methods such as contextual inquiry and workflow or journey mapping., • Resourceful and persistent through technical, organizational and political roadblocks, • Motivated by how much your team’s solutions improve scientists’ work, with a strong sense of ownership, a bias towards action and short build cycles., • Curious about both science & technology with a desire to keep learning., • Skeptical of complexity, deriving satisfaction from removing parts rather than adding them., • Collaborative enabler, working as a peer to engineers and designers, not a gatekeeper between them and users., • Enhanced holiday pay, • Pension, • Life Assurance, • Income Protection, • Private Medical Insurance, • Hospital Cash Plan, • Therapy Services, • Perk Box, • Electric Car Scheme At the Ellison Institute, we believe a collaborative, inclusive team is key to our success.
