Group Leaders, Generative Biology Institute

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Responsible for leading and managing an independent research group within the Generative Biology Institute (“GBI”), delivering a program of bold, ambitious and transformational research which is broadly aligned with GBI’s vision of making biology engineerable and unlocking its potential for good . Generative Biology Institute . 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. Part of the Ellison Institute of Technology, Oxford (“EIT”), GBI is led by founding Director Jason Chin. It will house 30 groups and more than 300 researchers 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 Endeavors. GBI will have sustained and substantial funding to support the unique scale and ambition of its ground-break
