In support of continually changing initiatives, the Clinical Laboratory Process Development Associate I is committed to carrying out innovative, high‑throughput lab processes and supporting the highest quality research to understand the impacts of genetic regulation on human health and disease. In this role, you are responsible for processing samples through a high‑throughput clinical research laboratory and meeting production goals.

Responsibilities include:

• Process samples through multi‑step pipelines for cell expansion, banking, perturbations, and screens to develop cellular models of disease and biological processes of interest to researchers.
• Maintain and optimize mammalian cell culture systems for screening experiments.
• Apply functional genomics techniques, including epigenomics, single‑cell, transcriptomics, and CRISPR‑based assays in human cells and tissues.
• Follow standard operating procedures and laboratory quality‑control policies.
• Participate in continuous improvement projects and troubleshoot process issues in accordance with change‑management procedures.
• Document and communicate results of process improvement projects and quality metrics to stakeholders.
• Provide general supervision of other laboratory personnel such as Process Development Technicians and Accessioning Technicians as required.

Qualifications

• BS/BA degree in Biology or Chemistry.
• At least 1 year of full‑time laboratory experience in a relevant specialty after obtaining the degree.
• Solid knowledge of basic aseptic and mammalian cell culture techniques.
• Strong analytical skills, problem‑solving ability, and innovative aptitude.
• Recent experience (within the last year) with standard cell lab equipment such as pipettes, centrifuges, biosafety cabinets, microscopes, and gel electrophoresis.
• Preferred: Experience with high‑throughput screening and automation, genome editing tools (CRISPR targeting), molecular biology, genomics, and cellular biology assays, single‑cell sequencing methods, iPSCs, cell lines, or primary cell culture.
