Position Overview
**Job Description**
**UW Department of Biochemistry IPD has an outstanding opportunity for Research Scientist 1 (RS1) to join their team.**
**About this Opportunity**
The Research Scientist 1 (RS1) will join a predominantly wet-lab group founded on the belief that experimentation can not only be used to analyze protein designs, but generate data to improve existing models so designed proteins are better in the first place.
We create and implement workflows to reduce the protein build and test burden, in order to increase the throughput and speed of generating standardized and high quality functional data on protein designs. Our work sits at the intersection of wet lab techniques, semi-automation hardware, and computation, with a focus on increasing efficiency and capacity. We are increasingly incorporating machine learning models into our design-build-test iterations to predict protein function.
The group is predominantly focused on enzymes, but often t...
