Quantum biology unlocks a fundamentally new way to actuate on biology. The Quantum Biology Institute is a non-profit that conducts basic research, releasing all of it openly to help build the foundation of the field. Following our publicly available scientific roadmap (https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).), we seek to unambiguously refute or establish the existence of a quantum-to-biology link.

The Quantum Biology Institute is seeking an accomplished scientist to develop the research direction for the institute with respect to redox biology and bioenergetics, in collaboration with our existing scientific team. Our research explores how magneto sensitivity in biology, a putative quantum effect, emerges from interactions between weak magnetic fields and proteins as well as reactive species.

To complement our work on magneto sensitive proteins, we are looking for a leader with deep expertise in redox pathways and cellular metabolism.

• Drive research on redox biology, metabolism, and their connections to magneto sensitivity
• Work together with the Head of Biochemistry to dissect the relative contributions of proteins and reactive species to magneto sensitivity
• Design and execute experiments using advanced instrumentation and redox sensors

• Experimental techniques to probe the kinetics of ROS formation and decay, electron transfer reactions, and antioxidant mechanisms
• High-resolution respirometry systems (e.g., Oroboros, Seahorse)
• State-of-the-art redox sensors (e.g., HyPer)
• Track record working with model systems such as
  
  E. coli, yeast, or mammalian cells

This role is on-site at the Institute's lab in Los Angeles, USA.
