We are out of time. Change must be immediate. We have to help the world find alternative ways to produce all the same things we love. But better. Using less land, less water, less energy, and making less waste. If you think that sounds like a mission, well, you are right. We are solving the world’s most important problems with talented individuals who share our passion to change the world. GALY is an early-stage company developing novel in vitro plant cell culture methods to produce cotton, coffee, and other plant products in a process that is faster and uses fewer resources than if grown in the ground. GALY's environment is built so everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, age, or background, can do their best work.
Role Description:
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. We seek a Biochemist/Biophysicist, who will utilize his/her expertise to support the company’s goal of developing novel plant cellular agriculture technologies. The successful candidate will assist in executing existing assays and contribute to the development of novel assays for in-vitro fiber development. The candidate’s ability to learn quickly, thrive in the lab environment and optimize workflows are important to support and help GALY fulfill its mission. Salary and title will be commensurate with experience.
Here’s What You’ll do:
- Collaborate with other scientists to build translational understanding between biochemical findings and other disciplines for in-vitro fiber development
- You will apply your biophysical and biochemistry skills to characterize small molecules
- Co-develop new scientific project proposals to address unmet company needs
- Collaborate with Research Associates and other Scientists to execute scientific experiments related to one or more fiber development areas
- Interpret and analyze data, draw conclusions and make result-driven product development recommendations

Who we are:
GALY is growing the future. We are an army of dreamers that believe scientists are the artists of a new era. We envision a world where we can still produce sought-after materials without the physical burden we place on the planet and its people, especially those without opportunity. That is why we are revolutionizing the way we produce goods today by building a much more sustainable and distributable form of agriculture. However, nobody takes innovation seriously until you scale it. We are on it! By developing novel scale-up strategies for in-vitro production of cotton that have never been done on an industrial scale, we will achieve something truly new. To do this, we are gathering a team with highly diverse skills and experiences, ranging from genetic engineering, plant cell culture, sterile process development, bioreactor design, mathematics, statistics agriculture, high-performance automation, stylists, illustrators, fashion designers, creative business development, marketing and branding strategies. A group on a mission to save our planet. We are scientists. We are artists. We are GALY.
