Molecular CloningProtein PurificationMammalian Cell Culture
Role Overview
As a Research Associate, you’ll join a multidisciplinary group advancing core biological research at Merge in one of two tracks:
Science-Track RAs work directly in active scientific programs. You’ll work closely with scientists to design, execute, and iterate on experiments spanning protein engineering, cell biology, synthetic biology, neuroscience and/or translational biology. You’ll see your experiments feed directly into experimental decisions, execution, and technical strategy. This track is designed to identify and develop high-potential early scientists and place them on an accelerated path toward independent scientific roles.
Platform-Track RAs build and operate the core experimental capabilities that enable ambitious science at scale. You’ll work closely with platform leads to operate, strengthen, and evolve foundational workflows. This track rewards rigor, systems thinking, and deep technical mastery. Your impact comes from turning fragile or bespoke experiments into reliable, high-quality pipelines that accelerate the entire organization. This track is designed to provide a fulfilling, long-term career path to individuals who thrive in supporting research.

About the team
Our Bio team designs, builds, and characterizes the biotechnologies that form the foundation of next-generation brain-computer interfaces. We combine molecular engineering, synthetic biology, neuroscience and advanced physical methods such as ultrasound to establish less invasive, high-bandwidth connections with neurons. The Bio team develops our core molecular technologies, validates their performance in vitro and in vivo, and demonstrates their advanced capabilities in animal models. We build custom experimental setups and pipelines and collaborate closely with engineers and data scientists. We work across disciplines to come up with creative ideas and solve some of the most challenging problems in biotechnology.
