Job Description
A Bit About Us:
We are Arcadia Science, an evolutionary biology company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to turn natural innovations into real-world solutions by developing systematic, and quantitative approaches to leveraging biology for therapeutics R&D. We share our research as openly as possible to accelerate discovery and engage with the broader scientific community.
The Opportunity:
We are seeking an innovative and experienced Evolutionary Cell Biologist. Arcadia is studying biology with evolution as our guide. Our tools, methods, and frameworks probe the tree of life to identify innovations, novelties, and organisms that accelerate our basic and translational research.
In this role, the Evolutionary Cell Biologist will be part of a collaborative team generating valuable phenotypic and genotypic data to compare cellular features across organisms. Because we use evolution to select the best organism to study each biological question at Arcadia, scientists in this role will design experiments and develop protocols for diverse, often non-traditional organisms/cell types. These contributions will be instrumental in validating existing tools at Arcadia, testing novel hypotheses, identifying therapeutic assets, and driving the creation of new cellular approaches for testing biological function.
Top candidates are hands-on, inventive scientists with deep experience in cell biology and a strong interest in using biological diversity as a tool to unlock novel therapeutics. They are energized by exploring new biology, skilled at troubleshooting, and thrive in collaborative, open research environments. Enthusiasm and participation in open science is also required as we routinely share our findings via our open-source Pubs.
