• Lead multi-omic assay projects, potentially including whole genome, exome, targeted sequencing, methylation and/or proteomic methods.
• Develop protocols and laboratory workflows to analyze samples, including isolation of nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) from banked biospecimens and QC.
• Serve as a technical resource for other lab members regarding advice on methods and experiment design and analysis.
• Establish experiment goals and plans, carry out experiments independently using standardized processes, including but not limited to DNA extractions, genomic sequencing library preparations, PCR, and quantity of samples.
• Keep an accurate record of all methods, observations, outcomes, and data generated, following the best practice in the team to collect and record data within LIMS, other IT application systems.
• May support exploratory experiments, validations, bridging studies, preparation of documentation for transitioning R&D protocol to clinical production.

Requirements

• PhD Required.
• MS Required.
• 1-3 years Required.
