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-breaking vision for engineering biology. GBI researchers will also be supported by cutting edge facilities including mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, sequencing, automation, scientific computing, bioinformatics, and machine learning. GBI will also have access to substantial compute resources that can be leveraged to further accelerate progress. The environment at GBI will allow researchers to undertake ambitious, long-term, collaborative research, and we will actively support the translation of research to commercial applications, where appropriate. GBI will commence operations in 2025. The team will work from a purpose-made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state-of-the-art facility will include more than 40,000 m2 of research laboratory and office space. Ahead of the launch of GBI in Q4 2025, we are now accepting applications for Group Leader positions at all levels, including Senior Group Leaders (equivalent to Tenured Professor) and Group Leaders (equivalent to a Tenure-Track Professor) as we build a world-class faculty. We expect to make 5 or more appointments before the end of 2026, with further appointments in 2027 and 2028 as we scale. Ellison Institute of Technology, Oxford ("EIT") EIT's purpose is to have a global impact by fundamentally reimagining the way science and technology translate into end-to-end solutions and delivering these solutions in programs and platforms that respond to humanity's most challenging problems. EIT is investing significant resources in a new world-class research and development facility in the Oxford Science Park, including GBI. EIT is committed to cultivating a community where excellence is achieved through collaboration, trust, innovation and tenacity. We foster an environment where everyone's experience and expertise are valued. We are curious and resilient in our efforts to drive long-term, sustainable innovation to meet humanity's most enduring challenges., Please submit a CV (no more than 3 pages, including a list of up to ten key publications), and cover letter explaining why you would like to join GBI (no more than 2 pages) Please submit a proposal (no more than 5 pages) of the research that you would like to undertake at GBI covering: * The research questions that you would like answer over a 5-10 year period and how this relates to the vision of GBI. * How this relates to your previous work. * The challenges that you need to overcome and the resources that you would need in order to be successful. * How you would intend to partner with colleagues at GBI and with the broader EIT family. We are interested in all research that is consistent with GBI's vision. Some relevant areas include: * Molecular and Cellular Design and Evolution. * Enzyme design. * Design of molecular assemblies and machines. * Experimental accelerated evolution. * Robotics, automation and autonomous labs. * Genome mining and informatics-based discovery. * Computational AI sequence to function. * Modelling and building genetic and cellular circuits. * Cellular design. * Expanding chemistry in biology. * Nitrogen fixation. * Carbon fixation. * Programming cellular assemblies and synthetic tissues. * Scalable error free DNA and genome synthesis. * Microbial Genome Synthesis and Design. * Gb-scale Genome Synthesis for plants, human cells and animals. * Combinatorial synthetic genomics. * DNA delivery. * Predictive models of DNA sequence to function, at the scale of genes and genomes. * Human health applications and delivery mechanisms.
