Flagship Pioneering Co-Op Program

Welcome to Flagship Pioneering Co-Op Program for the cohort dreaming big and taking courageous leaps. You'll join fellow peers across our ecosystem of companies and learning firsthand how we build first-in-category companies. You’ll have access to enrichment sessions, a dedicated professional development track, and a mentor that help guide you toward your next step. By the end, you will carry on a meaningful project outcome, a genuine network, and a front-row view of how Flagship pioneer new ventures that change the world.

About the Role

As a member of our molecular biology team, you’ll work at the forefront of hands-on research from constructing DNA plasmids to analyzing cell phenotypes and protein expression.

What You Will Do

  • Design, build, and QC DNA constructs using restriction cloning, Gibson/Golden Gate assembly, and PCR.
  • Run agarose DNA gels to analyze PCR products and digests; perform gel extraction and DNA purification.
  • Set up restriction enzyme digests and ligations; optimize reaction conditions and troubleshoot cloning workflows
  • Perform core molecular and cell biology tasks, including DNA/RNA extraction, qPCR/RT-qPCR, transfection/transduction, and clonal line generation
  • Analyze and clearly communicate experimental results; iterate protocols in collaboration with experienced scientists

What We're Looking For

  • Highly motivated and enthusiastic co-op students eager to dive into fast-paced, impactful bench science
  • Curious problem solvers who learn new techniques quickly and think creatively
  • Individuals with a strong foundation in molecular biology and cell culture; experience with synthetic biology, genome engineering, or assay development is a plus.

Qualifications:

  • Pursuing a MS in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, or a related field
  • Hands-on experience with core techniques: miniprep/midiprep, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, restriction enzyme digests, ligation, and DNA purification
  • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and clear written/verbal communication

Why Join Us:

  • Contribute directly to impactful, platform-scale molecular biology
  • Collaborate with a tight-knit, multidisciplinary team that values mentorship and scientific rigor
  • Build a diverse toolkit spanning cloning, gel-based analysis, cell engineering, assay development, and data analysis

What We Offer

  • Build alongside founders. You’ll work inside the same hypothesis-driven process Flagship uses to conceive and launch first-in-category companies.
  • This can be the start of a longer story. Strong co-ops are considered for future opportunities across Flagship and its portfolio companies, not just for this one role.
  • Work alongside people who left the safe path. Your colleagues are scientists, engineers, and operators who chose to build something new rather than join something already established.
  • Take on real ownership. You're contributing to ventures that are still being defined. Your work can shape real decisions, not just support them.
  • Be paid like the contributor you are. Compensation reflects the real work you take on.

Embark on an exhilarating journey with Serif Biomedicines, where your contributions at the bench will accelerate breakthrough molecular biology and shape what’s possible in biotech. To apply, please send your resume and a brief note on your relevant coursework and lab experience.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
