Position Overview
Phagestack is a biotech startup developing a platform for machine-learning–enabled precision antimicrobials based on bacteriophages. Our work sits at the intersection of microbiology, data science, and real-world impact. With newly secured public funding, we are building our own lab operations in the Cologne area. You can be part of it from day one.
Tasks
- Run hands-on microbiology lab work: cultivation of bacterial strains (BSL-1 / BSL-2), plating, titration, growth curves, and sterile techniques
- Isolate, amplify, and characterize bacteriophages as part of funded R&D projects
- Apply basic molecular biology methods such as DNA extraction and PCR
- Prepare samples and document results in a structured, GxP-like manner
- Help build and organize a new biotech lab from consumables to workflows, while ensuring biosafety and quality standards
