Expressions of Interest

This is an expression of interest for potential future roles at MBDF. The organization is seeking candidates for various positions that may include:

• Science Roles: Lead technical projects on mirror-life feasibility and risks, collaborate with experts to design scientific workshops, and translate complex findings into clear actionable communications for various stakeholders
• Policy Roles: Engage with policymakers to help them understand and address the risks of mirror life
• Operations Roles: Help the MBDF team grow, run smoothly, and accomplish our goals
• General Interest: For those excited about MBDF's mission but not fitting into the above categories

This work helps prevent unprecedented ecological and health risks from synthetic mirror organisms by facilitating international dialogue and policy development to ensure mirror life is never created.

Specific requirements vary by role type, but general expectations include:

• Passion for MBDF's mission to understand and avert risks from mirror life
• Ability to contribute to science, policy, or operations functions
• Strong communication skills to translate complex findings for various stakeholders
• Experience relevant to the specific role area (science, policy, or operations)

No specific benefits or compensation information is provided in this expression of interest posting.

The Mirror Biology Dialogues Fund (MBDF) is a nonprofit founded in 2024 dedicated to understanding and averting future risks from 'mirror life'—synthetic organisms built from mirror-image versions of the molecules that make up all natural life on Earth. MBDF supports international conferences, workshops, and initiatives to foster constructive dialogue between scientists, policymakers, and civil society.
