• A minimum of 4 years hands-on experience in a molecular biology laboratory.
• Extensive experience working with RNA, particularly low-input or challenging samples, and magnetic bead-based library preparation protocols.
• Demonstrated experience as a laboratory manager or in a role with responsibility for laboratory organisation.
• Strong attention to detail and high standards for experimental rigor and reproducibility.
• Excellent organizational, documentation, and reporting skills.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a high-performance team.
• Professional working proficiency in English.

What will give you extra points:

• Experience with:
  • Cell-free RNA workflows.
  • Automated systems for liquid handling, and nucleic acid extraction and processing.
  • Next-generation sequencing platforms and workflows.
  • Liquid biopsy and/or molecular oncology.
  • Method optimization and protocol development.
  • Working in GMP and/or ISO-accredited environments.

Your responsibilities:

• Implement the company’s proprietary cell-free RNA sequencing workflows to process and sequence clinical samples.
• Perform a range of molecular biology techniques, including nucleic acid extraction, library preparation and qPCR, in projects with clients and external collaborators.
• Maintain quality standards to ensure the consistent generation of high quality data.
• Ensure efficient laboratory organization, proactively managing requirements such as inventory control, ordering, and equipment maintenance.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of laboratory processes and SOPs.
• Maintain documentation to ensure traceability and compliance with quality standards.
• Present results and project progress in internal meetings, and with clients and external collaborators.

What we offer:

• A full-time position based in Barcelona.
• Competitive compensation aligned with experience (base salary and variable component).
• A permanent contract.
• The possibility for 2 days remote working per week and a flexible schedule
