NGS Scientist / Biologist

Qualifications:

• B.S. and/or M.S. in biological or biochemical sciences (or a related field) with 3-5 years of laboratory research experience.

• Molecular biology mastery of nucleic acid extraction and purification, quantification, NGS library preparation/QC, and qPCR.

• Strong background in NGS technologies and their applications, including quantification, sequencing, and data QC (preferably Illumina). Direct experience with RNA-seq (bulk) and amplicon-seq.

• Direct experience with single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq library preparation is required. Candidates must be familiar with multiple scRNA-seq/snRNA-seq platforms (e.g., 10X Genomics Chromium, Illumina PIP-seq, ScaleBio, or Parse Biosciences).

Additional Skills/Preferences:

• Familiarity with CRISPR-based gene editing and high-throughput screening is a plus.

• Experience with automation is a plus (Mantis, Integra systems, Liquid Handlers, SPTLabtech Firefly, Tecan, etc).

• Strong organizational, time management, and communication skills.

• Experience with documentation in electronic notebook software.
