Project Scientist - Microbiome

Lead microbiome science at 30M Genomics. One opening, based at the Hyderabad operating office.

Microbiome sits in our pipeline beside pharmacogenomics — gut and host–microbe insights we are building, not a launched consumer product. You will set up methods, evidence, and lab practice so that work is honest and repeatable.

What you will do

• Plan and run microbiome research: sample handling, sequencing or targeted assays, and analysis workflows.
• Build protocols and quality checks that can sit next to existing PGx lab practice.
• Review literature and keep claims matched to evidence — pipeline work is labelled as pipeline.
• Work with PGx, lab, and product colleagues so microbiome output can eventually inform the same clinician workflow.

PhD or MSc with a minimum of 5 years of experience in the relevant domain (microbiome, microbial genomics, metagenomics, or a closely related laboratory science).

• Hands-on experience with 16S, shotgun metagenomics, or equivalent microbiome methods.
• Ability to write protocols and interpret results without over-claiming clinical utility.
• Clear written English for methods, SOPs, and internal notes.

Full-time role at 30M Genomics Private Limited, Hyderabad (Kukatpally operating office).

• Science role on a pipeline programme that sits beside live PGx, not a fake product launch.
