What is a full time animal geneticist?

Full time animal geneticists are professionals who study the genetic makeup of animals to improve breeding, health, and productivity. They work in various settings including research institutions, universities, government agencies, and private industry. Their responsibilities often include conducting experiments, analyzing genetic data, and developing strategies for selective breeding. Full time positions typically require at least a bachelor's degree in animal science, genetics, or a related field, with many roles preferring advanced degrees. Animal geneticists play a critical role in advancing animal agriculture, conservation, and biomedical research.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a full time animal geneticist?

To thrive as a Full Time Animal Geneticist, you need a solid background in genetics, biology, and statistics, typically with a master's or doctoral degree in animal science or genetics. Familiarity with laboratory equipment, genomic analysis tools, and bioinformatics software is essential, along with experience in DNA sequencing and genetic mapping techniques. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help in interpreting data and collaborating with research teams or agricultural producers. These skills ensure accurate genetic research, innovation in animal breeding programs, and improved livestock productivity.

What are some typical challenges faced by full time animal geneticists, and how can they be addressed in the workplace?

Full-time animal geneticists often encounter challenges such as managing large sets of genetic data, keeping pace with rapid advancements in genetic technologies, and ensuring ethical standards in research and breeding programs. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—including veterinarians, data analysts, and farmers—helps address these complexities. Employers often support ongoing training and provide access to advanced software and laboratory resources, making it easier for geneticists to stay updated and efficiently manage their workload.

Job Description
About OmniAb
OmniAb provides our pharmaceutical industry partners access to the most diverse antibody repertoires and cutting-edge screening technologies to enable discovery of next-generation therapeutics. We leverage our state-of-the-art technologies to facilitate the discovery of best-in-class antibodies. Within OmniAb are also core capabilities for the discovery and screening of high-value ion channel and transporter targets.
OmniAb consists of dynamic, collaborative, and innovative team members that are passionate about contributing to the technological frontier of drug discovery and to the advancement of global human health. Together, with our partners, we are enabling the discovery of next-generation therapeutics.
About This Role
We're seeking a Senior Research Associate who will be responsible for the culture of genetically modified primordial germ cells for the generation of chickens expressing human antibodies and other novel antigen-binding scaffolds. This position will interface between cell culture and molecular biology teams. This position represents a critical role in developing our next generation of innovative in vivo platforms for the discovery of novel therapeutics. A successful candidate would have strong technical skills and hands-on experience in primary cell culture and genetic modification.
The Animal Genetics group focuses on engineering chickens to produce human antibodies in various formats for different therapeutic applications. New genetically modified lines of chickens are validated in antibody discovery campaigns and the antibodies produced are characterized prior to the chickens being used in partner programs. The genetic modification of chickens requires culturing chicken germline cells and affecting genetic changes using modern methods of gene editing.
The ideal candidate has experience in stem cell culture, stem cell genetic modification, and molecular biology techniques.
This role reports to the Fellow in Animal Genetics.
This is an onsite position based out of our Emeryville headquarters. This is a full-time position, and the working hours are 8am-5pm PT.
What You'll Do
  • Propagate and genetically modify primordial germ cells (PGCs), monitoring morphology and growth characteristics and correlating them with germline transmission
  • Design and implement gene editing tools for precision genetic modification of PGCs
  • Produce germline chimeras by microinjection of PGCs
  • Establish re-derived PGC lines from transgenic animals and evaluate their germline competence
  • Characterize PGC lines and transgenes by immunological methods, PCR and sequencing
  • Evaluate novel antibody formats and gene editing strategies in immortalized B cells prior to PGC modification by flow cytometry, PCR, RT-PCR and sequencing
  • Collaborate with team members on immunophenotyping of new bird lines and on routine genotyping tasks
  • Keep accurate and complete notebook entries with effective data management and visualization
  • Maintain inventories of cell culture media and reagents, prioritizing replenishment of cell stocks as needed
  • Present at OmniAb internal meetings on genetic modification work

What You Bring
  • M.S. with 5+ years experience
  • Experience with stem cell culture or other primary cell culture
  • Experience with genetic modification
  • Experience in molecular biology
  • Ability to prioritize tasks and complete projects on time
  • Eagerness to learn new methods and apply knowledge to a steady stream of new projects with distinct goals
  • Must demonstrate well-developed communication, record keeping, organizational skills, and the ability to work in a team environment

Nice To Have
  • Experience with antibody discovery or characterization
  • Experience with transgenic animals

Our total rewards package includes an annual base compensation, target bonus, equity, refresh grants, ESPP, comprehensive health plans, immediate 401k matching, PTO, sick leave, paid parental leave, commuter benefits, wellness stipend, education reimbursement and more!
The base compensation range for this position is $105,345 - $128,086 per YEAR. The range provided is an estimate. Actual compensation may vary based on skills, experience, education, location, and other factors permitted by law.
