Strain Development Lead

About Again

CO2 is a global problem. By fermenting it into carbon negative chemicals, we make it the solution.

We have figured out how to take the carbon outputs from industrial emitters, and use them as the inputs for chemical manufacturing. We’re not simply storing carbon away - we are turning it into valuable, emission-free green-chemicals.

If that doesn’t bubble your bioreactor, how about this: For every tonne of products we make, over 2 tonnes of carbon are removed from the atmosphere.

We have raised over $50m to date from top venture capital investors as well as in grant funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.

What you’ll do

At Again, you will be responsible for driving our R&D efforts across our existing and new products, working closely with our strain developers and computational biologists, as well as the broader engineering and fermentation teams.

Responsibilities

• You will be responsible for leading our innovation efforts across our multidisciplinary team with a focus on both our existing products and how to optimise production, as well as developing new products via biological and chemical processes
• You will work closely with management and the scientific team to define strategic objectives and own project management for key priorities

About you:

• You have at least 2+ years of (industry) experience leading teams in microbiology or molecular biology - start-up experience is a plus
• You have a Masters or PhD in Microbiology, Molecular Biology or a similar field
• Most importantly, you are a creative problem solver, always full of new ideas, hate taking “no” for an answer, prefer to challenge the status quo and never postpone until tomorrow what can be done today

What we promise you?

• You get to work with a group of passionate scientists, working on challenging and meaningful projects
• This will be the journey of a lifetime – we are serious about our mission to reduce over 1 gigaton of CO₂ and you can play a pivotal role in making that happen
• An inclusive, empowering and engaging work environment
• We understand that relocating can be a hassle, so if you don't live in Denmark, we will help out to give you a smooth transition
