Job Description
Job Summary:
Responsible for leading and managing an independent research group within the Generative Biology Institute (“GBI”), delivering a program of bold, ambitious and transformational research which is broadly aligned with GBI’s vision of making biology engineerable and unlocking its potential for good
Generative Biology Institute
The vision of the GBI is to lay the foundations for engineering biology, and unlock its potential for good. To achieve this, we must overcome two key challenges. First, we need the ability to write in the natural language of biology, enabling the rapid and scalable synthesis of entire genomes with precision. Second, we must understand what to write, determining which DNA sequences will generate biological systems that perform the desired functions. Addressing these challenges will allow us to harness the full power of biology to create transformative solutions across health, agriculture, clean energy and more.
Part of the Ellison Institute of Technology, Oxford (“EIT”), GBI is led by founding Director Jason Chin. It will house 30 groups and more than 300 researchers at scale, focused on solving the two critical challenges in making biology engineerable and applying the solutions to addressing the global challenges encapsulated in EIT’s Humane Endeavors.
GBI will have sustained and substantial funding to support the unique scale and ambition of its ground-breaking vision for engineering biology. GBI researchers will also be supported by cutting edge facilities including mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, sequencing, automation, scientific computing, bioinformatics, and machine learning. GBI will also have access to substantial compute resources that can be leveraged to further accelerate progress. The environment at GBI will allow researchers to undertake ambitious, long-term, collaborative research, and we will actively support the translation of research to commercial applications, where appropriate.
GBI will commence operations in 2025. The team will work from a purpose-made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state-of-the-art facility will include more than 40,000 m² of research laboratory and office space.
Ahead of the launch of GBI in Q4 2025, we are now accepting applications for Group Leader positions at all levels, including Senior Group Leaders (equivalent to Tenured Professor) and Group Leaders (equivalent to a Tenure-Track Professor) as we build a world-class faculty. We expect to make 5 or more appointments before the end of 2026, with further appointments in 2027 and 2028 as we scale.
Ellison Institute of Technology, Oxford (“EIT”)
EIT’s purpose is to have a global impact by fundamentally reimagining the way science and technology translate into end-to-end solutions and delivering these solutions in programs and platforms that respond to humanity’s most challenging problems.
EIT is investing significant resources in a new world-class research and development facility in the Oxford Science Park, including GBI. EIT is committed to cultivating a community where excellence is achieved through collaboration, trust, innovation and tenacity.

- We also actively encourage applications from those who have worked in an commercial setting, such as a biotech and companies leveraging AI for research.
- Assessment of applicants with respect to knowledge skills and experience criteria will be calibrated for career stage.
Benefits
Our proposition for Group Leaders:
- Research groups will be supported by substantial core funding, for posts, consumables, and equipment matched to the needs of the project.
- Additional posts can be made available to support specific research projects, particularly for ambitious collaborative projects across groups.
