Animal Cell Biologist

We are out of time. Change must be immediate. We have to help the world find alternative ways to produce all the same things we love. But better. Using less land, less water, less energy, and making less waste. If you think that sounds like a mission, well, you are right. We are solving the world's most important problems with talented individuals who share our passion to change the world. GALY is an early-stage company developing novel _in vitro_ plant cell culture methods to produce cotton, coffee, and other plant products in a process that is faster and uses fewer resources than if grown in the ground. GALY's environment is built so everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, age, or background, can do their best work.
**Role Description**:
**Here's What You'll do**:
- Design scalable processes for growing both plant and animal tissues using biomaterials that can be easily scaled and manufactured at large scale
- Designs molecular or cellular laboratory experiments, oversees their execution, and interprets results. Maintains accurate laboratory records and data
- Conducts research on cell organization and function, including mechanisms of gene expression, cellular bioinformatics, cell signaling, or cell differentiation
- Develops assays that monitor cell characteristics
- Coordinates molecular or cellular research activities with scientists specializing in other fields. Evaluates new technologies to enhance or complement current research
- Verifies that financial, physical, and human resources assigned to research or development projects are used as planned
- Deliver regular progress reports internally; present findings to GALY teams
**Required Education & Qualifications**:
- Master degree in Molecular or Cellular Biology, Genetics, Pharmacology, Biotechnology, Biology, or a comparable biological science with 4+ years of relevant experience
- 3D cell culture system
- Confocal imaging
- Expertise in tissue engineering, bioreactor design, and performing assays to characterize cell/biomaterial interactions
- Expertise in microscopic imaging, ELISA
- Experience in developing scalable R&D projects in mammalian or other cell culture systems
- Superior organizational skills with attention to detail, the ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and accurately, and ability to adjust rapidly to shifting priorities and variable workloads
- Familiarity with DOE, GraphPad and other statistical methods
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
**Optional Education & Qualifications**:
- Experience working with both plant and animal cells

- The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by incumbents assigned to this job. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all the functions, responsibilities, duties and skills required for the position, and GALY retains the discretion to modify functions, responsibilities, duties and skills at any time, including modifying the time devoted to such activities, deleting activities and assigning other activities._
**Who we are**:
GALY is growing the future. We are an army of dreamers that believe scientists are the artists of a new era. We envision a world where we can still produce sought-after materials without the physical burden we place on the planet and its people, especially those without opportunity. That is why we are revolutionizing the way we produce goods today by building a much more sustainable and distributable form of agriculture. However, nobody takes innovation seriously until you scale it. We are on it By developing novel scale-up strategies for in-vitro production of cotton that have never been done on an industrial scale, we will achieve something truly new. To do this, we are gathering a team with highly diverse skills and experiences, ranging from genetic engineering, plant cell culture, sterile process development, bioreactor design, mathematics, statistics agriculture, high-performance automation, stylists, illustrators, fashion designers, creative business development, marketing and branding strategies. A group on a mission to save our planet. We are scientists. We are artists. We are GALY.
