Insect Husbandry & Genetic Transformation Specialists

Overview

Join Us in Texas — Build the Future of Sustainable Biotechnology

Insect Husbandry &Genetic Transformation Specialists | New US Biotech Facility | Mission‑Driven Science

Are you ready to use your biology and entomology expertise to change the world?

We’re a global team of bold, passionate innovators developing ground‑breaking biological technologies designed to sustainably and safely control insects that transmit deadly diseases and devastate crops. As insects pose growing threats to human health, food systems, and global stability, our work has never been more urgent or more exciting. We’re expanding into the United States, opening a brand‑new biotech facility in Texas.

If you’re a hands‑on scientist or technician who thrives in live insect environments, excels in meticulous laboratory work, and wants your career to have global impact, we want to meet you.

You may have a background in:

• Entomology
• Insect husbandry
• Biology, zoology, or agricultural science
• Molecular biology or biotechnology with an interest in insect systems

For scientist roles you will have a first degree in a relevant subject (e.g. biological sciences, zoology, entomology, or agricultural sciences). For senior roles, we welcome applicants with relevant postgraduate qualifications as well as significant insectary/transformation experience.

Experience in any of the following is required:

• Insect husbandry and colony management
• Maintaining, feeding, and monitoring insect life stages
• Setting up controlled environment in sectaries
• Robust experimental design and data collection
• Genetic transformation of insect life stages (including microinjection)
• Insect transformation techniques (e.g., transgenesis, CRISPR-based modifications)
• Microscopy
• Phenotyping, screening, and tracking lineage genetics
• Vector biology, agricultural pests, or model insect systems
• Environmental or biosafety compliance in insect facilities

Your Work Will Help:

• Reduce the burden of diseases
• Protect crops and strengthen food security
• Deliver sustainable, scalable solutions that safeguard communities
• Support a world adapting to changes in insect populations

As one of the early insectary and transformation specialists in our US expansion, you’ll help design and shape new insect facilities, workflows, and scientific capabilities in a high‑growth, mission‑driven environment. You’ll be part of a team united by purpose with brilliant, curious minds driven by one shared mission: to improve lives and livelihoods around the world.

This is more than a job. It's a mission. Join us.

Apply now and help build the future of sustainable biotech in Texas.
