Job Description:
This position will be primarily involved in supporting sample and library prep efforts related to genome sequencing test. This position will integrate development and optimization of the library prep assay as well as maintain the production output. Individual will work as a key contributor of a dynamic and collaborative team. Individual will also act as a key member in the development and launch of new assays and assist the generation of epigenomics data to support customer projects. This position will help build and guide the future development of genome sequencing implementation and offers excellent opportunity for professional growth and advancement. This is an opportunity to play a role in laying the foundation in genomic medicine with a company that is a leader in transforming next generation sequencing.
Job Responsibilities:
- Work independently or together with other employees to execute, develop, and improve single cell multi-omics assay, including but not limited to joint profiling of histone modifications and RNA in a single cell; potentially develop other assays as company needs
- Design and conduct experiments to support the development and launch of new NGS-based assays
- Perform benchwork for NGS-based epigenomics assays within the R&D group
- Support initiatives for process improvement within the R&D group
- Assisted with lab management, SOP, etc.
- Preparation of cells to meet the demands of multiple concurrent projects, will require flexible work hours working in concert with project scientists
