(Updated 10/21/22)

LanzaTech is looking for motivated students with interest and experience in synthetic biology, automation, enzyme engineering, gas fermentation, adaptive laboratory evolution, systems biology, computational biology, artificial intelligence, process engineering and chemical engineering. Projects include development of new genetic tools or high-throughput workflows, metabolic engineering and modelling, engineering of new strains or enzymes, adaptative laboratory evolution (ALE) using classical microbiological principles and state of art automation for strain selection and analysis, development of new models or algoithms in cross-functional project teams with guidance and mentorship from leaders within the company. LanzaTech has partnered with the EBRC since the inception of the program with previous internship projects have been focused on: CRISPR tools, biosensors, transcriptional elements, metabolic engineering, protein engineering, materials development, artificial intelligence, and sequencing analysis. Interns will have an immersive experience and the ability to look into the cross-functional teams within LanzaTech.
