About Resurrect Bio
Resurrect Bio is a VC-backed plant biotech scale-up, discovering how to make crops resistant to disease using gene editing. We fix the immune system of crop species. We have a unique pipeline and platform for discovering resistance genes in crops which have been defeated by pathogens and pests. We then resurrect (restore) those resistance genes to make the crop resistant again, without introducing any new DNA to the crop.
We’re focussed on delivering for the world’s farmers a better way to protect their plants, using the crop's own immune system instead of spraying chemicals. This will enable them to increase food production, reduce land for agriculture and help mitigate climate change.
In December 2021, Resurrect Bio was spun out of the top institute for molecular plant microbe interactions, The Sainsbury Lab, Norwich. Since then, we have attracted financial support from several renowned VCs, as well as UK Government grant funding. We recently raised our Series A investment round and you are invited to look at our LinkedIn posts to find out more.
What We Offer
We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Junior or Mid-level Project Manager to join our growing team at our lab in West London. In this role you will bridge the gap between Science and Operations, working closely with our wet and dry lab teams to track milestones and ensure the on-time delivery of our disease resistance traits.
You will ideally have a Biology or Life Sciences undergrad degree, and/or experience working within a fast paced laboratory environment where priorities change fast but the vision and mission are very clear. You need to be good with people, can foresee problems, and work with others to find workable solutions. You will enjoy reading a gantt chart, setting up workflows in tools like Notion, and will have a grip on the status of all headline projects.
While you will predominantly work with the wet and dry lab teams, you will sit with the Head of Operations to bridge the gap effectively and add value to the prioritisation and on-time delivery of internal projects.
Responsibilities
This role uses blind recruitment practices to reduce unconscious bias in our hiring process. The system identifies information such as names, photos, and personal details that are removed during initial screening to ensure candidates are evaluated solely on their skills and experience. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
By clicking apply, you will be invited to upload your resume and answer a few short questions in lieu of a cover letter. This is to ensure we fairly process every application. Shortlisted applicants will be then asked to provide a cover letter, before proceeding to the next interview stages.
Applications aim to close EOD Wednesday June 17th, but we reserve the right to change this date if too many or too few appropriate applications are received.
