About this role
About Conception
Conception is pioneering the future of reproductive biology by generating functional human eggs from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Our mission is to unlock new possibilities for fertility, reproductive health, and genetic diversity. Successful development of our research could enable innovations such as removing age limits on motherhood, screening eggs for harmful genetic mutations, and enabling same-sex reproduction.
We are building a world-class team at the intersection of stem cell biology, developmental biology, and synthetic biology to make this vision a reality.
What we are looking for
We are always looking for great teammates that are interested in joining our mission. You should have a solid scientific background with a reliable track-record in executing experiments is something we strongly care about. We value being able to thrive in a highly collaborative, dynamic, flexible and fast paced environment.
While expertise is valued, we can provide training in areas of inexperience if you are passionate about our goal. While a big plus, there is no requirement for prior experience working on reproductive cells or iPSCs. We love it when people come to work with us from different backgrounds and bring new ideas and techniques to our lab.
Come and work with us
We are well funded and well connected in Silicon Valley. We offer competitive pay, company equity, and excellent healthcare benefits for these positions.
