Research Scientist, Phage–Host Dynamics
As a Research Scientist, Phage–Host Dynamics, you will lead innovative, high-risk, and high-reward research programs designed to explore the fundamental biology of bacteriophage–host interactions. You will develop novel molecular and microbiological assays, run large-scale genetic screens, and collaborate with our Bioinformatics and Data teams to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets. Your work will directly influence Phagos’ scientific roadmap and support the GHOST project, our flagship AI-driven phage prediction platform.
Your Missions

Design, validate, and implement novel, high-throughput molecular assays to study phage–host dynamics.
Lead functional genomics campaigns to identify biological factors that modulate infection cycles.
Apply advanced molecular and microbiological techniques to validate high-value targets and elucidate mechanisms of action.
Stay at the forefront of scientific innovation: identify emerging technologies, propose “moonshot” research ideas, and explore bold hypotheses.
Collaborate with the Bioinformatics and Phage Evolution teams to integrate experimental and computational discoveries.
Analyze complex datasets, document your findings, and present compelling insights to guide R&D strategy.
