Description
The Mirror Biology Dialogues Fund (MBDF) invites expressions of interest from individuals passionate about addressing the risks of "mirror life"—synthetic organisms built from mirror-image molecules.
  • Opportunities available in science, policy, and operations, with the potential for exceptional candidates to be considered outside formal hiring rounds.
  • Contribute to global efforts to understand and avert unprecedented ecological and health risks associated with mirror life.
  • Collaborate with leading scientists, policymakers, and civil society to shape international dialogue and policy.
  • Fast-moving, mission-driven nonprofit with an international team and support from major foundations.
Alternate application pathways are available for science, policy, operations, and general interest via the links on the MBDF jobs page.
