Our team’s mission is to develop and evaluate assays and platforms to improve our understanding of disease biology and drug mechanism of actions (MoA) and to develop novel decision-making biomarkers for early phase clinical trials. This position is primarily laboratory-based and will be responsible for driving the development of novel methods and technologies to enable multi-omics analysis of clinical trial samples with a high degree of autonomy. Additionally, the successful candidate will provide NGS expertise to internal stakeholders in study design, execution, and troubleshooting, and partner with external service providers as needed to support high-quality data generation from clinical trial samples.The primary responsibilities of this position are:
Design/execute/troubleshoot experiments to support bulk RNA-seq and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq/CITE-seq) for various clinical projects
Perform a wide range of cellular and molecular techniques including tissue dissociation, cell culture, flow sorting, NGS library generation and QC
Lead evaluation and implementation of advanced methods and technologies to enable multi-omics analysis of clinical trial samples and to provide guidance on sample collection and processing at clinical sites
Integrate automation (ie TECAN, Mantis, or Mosquito) to existing NGS pipelines to ensure data reproducibility and to improve throughput
Partner with external service providers on assays as necessary to meet project timeline and objectives
Perform high-level NGS data analysis and report data accurately in electronic lab notebook
Work closely with other lab-based personnel within Translational Science in Immunology to ensure optimal laboratory environment (collaboration, culture, safety, etc.)
QualificationsRequired:
Ph.D. in biology, biophysics, biochemistry, bioengineering or similar field with relevant experience or M.S. with a minimum of three (3) years of NGS experience is required.
