Boston, MA - Ginkgo BioWorks is a synthetic biology startup out of MIT that is offering programming internships to develop CAD tools and software to support our platform for genetic engineering of organisms for use in fuels, medicine, and foods. If you want to work on something other than photo-sharing, this might be for you:

- copper 15y agoOT (and I'm sorry), but I couldn't resist when I saw this requirement: > Candidates should hold a PhD or equivalent and have successfully engineered an organism -- plants, fish, microbes, worms, fungi, it doesn't matter, as long as it worked. Are there that many people who've actually done this? It makes me wish I could apply for this job :)
- electrichead 15y agoThat probably means "genetically modified" and not "created."
- copper 15y agoYes, I'd hope so too :) There should be quite a few people who've successfully engineered microbes and plants (by extension, fungi), but for the others, I was wondering just how many candidates there could be.
- ginkgoo 15y agoFor our programmer slots you don't need prior experience engineering organisms. Ginkgo is a good place for solid engineers to learn to hack biology. The majority of the team came from non-biology backgrounds initially.
- threejay 15y agoDo you have any use for someone with a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) background? I'm graduating next spring and am really interested in synthetic biology.
