We’re Growing — Join Us as a Research Associate!

At New Path Bio, we’re rethinking how proteins are made. Our team designs advanced yeast strains that convert CO₂-derived substrates and waste streams into sustainable proteins—without relying on animals, plants, chemicals, or traditional farming.

We’re looking for Research Associates to join our strain engineering team in Vienna, Austria. In this role, you’ll split your time between strain development and lab-scale fermentation, working on microbial engineering, protein expression strategies, and optimizing production processes. You’ll collaborate with talented teammates and leading academic partners while driving research that will directly impact the future of sustainable food production.

You’ll also receive mentorship from expert scientists in molecular biology, metabolic engineering, protein engineering, and fermentation—a great opportunity to grow your skills and career.

Your Role

• Design and execute experiments in molecular cloning, protein expression, and metabolic engineering.
• Conduct lab-scale fermentations to evaluate strain performance and optimize production.
• Improve expression systems and develop new methodologies for protein production.
• Collect, analyse, and present data to teams and leadership.

What We’re Looking For

• BSc with 2+ years of relevant lab experience or a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with molecular cloning, protein expression, and recombinant protein analysis.
• Practical experience in lab-scale fermentation is essential.
• Strong scientific curiosity, excellent problem-solving skills, and attention to detail.
• A positive, collaborative mindset and solid communication skills.

If you’re passionate about sustainability, synthetic biology, and making a real-world impact, come grow with us at New Path Bio. Help us shape the future of proteins protein production.
