Selection Process
We are seeking candidates who have demonstrated evidence and passion for solving pressing challenges in biotechnology through past leadership experiences and academic/professional endeavors. The quality and ingenuity of ideas expressed in an applicant’s application will be heavily weighted during the selection process. Successful applicants show innovative thinking and creativity in addressing the questions relating to the “gaps” in the bio-economy.
