Scientist – Protein Biochemistry and Engineering

About our company

We are a Toronto-based agricultural biotechnology startup developing a novel platform for precision bioinsecticides. Our products are designed to eliminate target insect pests while leaving beneficial insects, pollinators, and the broader environment unharmed.

The Role

We are looking for a Scientist to drive our insect receptor protein-binder discovery engine. You will own the wet-lab discovery pipeline, which includes producing and characterizing target insect receptors and developing high-throughput screening methods to identify high-affinity binders. You will also work directly with our computational team by generating the biophysical data needed to inform in silico protein design.

Compensation

• $85,000 to $100,000 CAD + equity + benefits.

What You’ll Do

• Design constructs for and express target insect protein receptors ...
