Work Environment/ Physical Demands:
Come and join our rapidly growing team, work with smart and dedicated people and help develop cutting-edge technologies that will have a lasting impact on the world. As a Scientist working in Cell Physiology and Fiber Development, you will be developing a heterotrophic plant cell culture process to deliver healthy, clean plant cells from culture to contribute to the development of Incredible Cotton. Cotton growth and maturation require several distinct developmental stages of cell wall development, each of which needs to be managed and improved in our culture process. The successful candidate will utilize his/her knowledge of a wide variety of analytical molecular and cellular techniques to support and help GALY fulfill its mission. Salary and title will be commensurate with experience.

Responsibilities & Know-How:
• Physiological characterization and analysis of plant cell wall traits;
• Utilize literature to prioritize gene, hormone, and environmental condition targets for plant cell culture trait manipulation;
• Biochemical analysis using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), or Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS);
• Map and manipulate biosynthetic pathways required for cell wall development;
• Characterize activity of target genes;
• Conduct common lab assays such as nucleic acid extraction, tissue fixation and staining, confocal microscopy, and image analysis;
•Deliver regular progress reports internally;
• Use bioinformatics and computational tools to quantify cell traits and perform statistical analysis;
• Be a great team player with strong interpersonal and collaboration skills.

Location:
Sunderland, MA - U.S. Work Visa Required.

What We Offer:
• Fast-paced environment with rapidly growth opportunities;
• Excellent full-time benefits including comprehensive medical coverage, dental, and vision options;
• Life and disability insurance;
• 401(k) with company match;

Who we are:
GALY is growing the future. We are an army of dreamers that believe scientists are artists of a new era. We are envisioning a world where we can still produce sought-after materials without the physical turmoil we place on disadvantaged people and the planet. That is why we are revolutionizing the way we produce goods today and therefore sparking a much more sustainable form of doing agriculture. However, nobody takes innovation seriously until you scale it. We are on it! By developing intelligent scale-up strategies with cotton cells, as the in-vitro cotton production market has never been done on an industrial scale, we are capable of doing something truly new. With this mind, we gather a team of highly diverse subjects, ranging from genetic engineering, plant cell culture, bioreactor development, mathematics, statistics, designers, high-performance automation, stylists, illustrators, creative business development, marketing and branding strategies. A group with a strong sense of purpose on a mission to find ways to save our planet. We are scientists. We are artists. We are creatives.
