What is next generation sequencing?

A Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) job involves working with advanced DNA and RNA sequencing technologies to analyze genetic material. Professionals in this field may design experiments, prepare biological samples, operate sequencing instruments, and interpret genomic data. Roles can vary from research scientists and bioinformaticians to lab technicians and data analysts. NGS is widely used in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology for applications such as disease research, personalized medicine, and evolutionary studies. Strong skills in molecular biology, computational analysis, and data interpretation are typically required.

What does someone working in next generation sequencing do?

Professionals in Next Generation Sequencing typically spend their days preparing and processing biological samples, operating sequencing instruments, and analyzing genomic data. They are responsible for troubleshooting technical issues, maintaining laboratory equipment, and ensuring quality control throughout the sequencing workflow. Collaboration with cross-functional teams—such as bioinformaticians, clinicians, and research scientists—is common to interpret sequencing results and contribute to project goals. This role also involves detailed record-keeping and adherence to regulatory or laboratory standards, making organization and communication important aspects of the job.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in next generation sequencing?

To excel in a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) role, you need a strong background in molecular biology, genomics, and data analysis, often supported by a degree in a life science field. Proficiency with NGS platforms (such as Illumina or Oxford Nanopore), laboratory automation tools, and bioinformatics software is highly valued, alongside relevant certifications in genomics or molecular diagnostics. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills set successful professionals apart. These competencies ensure high-quality sequencing results, efficient workflow, and productive collaboration in fast-paced research or clinical environments.

Job description

Description
The Levi laboratory in the Charles and Jane Pak Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research has an opening for an Instructor. The Levi lab's mission is to improve the lives of people living with skin and musculoskeletal injuries and diseases through rigorous science and compassion. Current projects in the Levi laboratory are related to the molecular biology behind tissue fibrosis and the repair and regeneration process in tendon, muscle, and bone. The laboratory integrates multiomics-based approaches with investigations of musculoskeletal development, homeostasis, repair, and regeneration. The laboratory uses transgenic animal models combined with bioinformatic approaches to understand the cell-cell interactions that occur within the stem cell niche under physiological conditions and strives to understand how these divergent signaling mechanisms may guide future therapeutic strategies to promote faithful repair of damaged tissue.
Qualifications
The Levi Lab is looking for an Instructor with an Osteosarcoma focus to join the team who is willing to commit to at least two years. The Instructor will support ongoing bench and animal work within the lab related to tendon injury/fibrosis, muscle injury/fibrosis or bone/tendon/muscle regeneration. Duties will include routine molecular bench work combined with the use of animal models (animal handling, injections, surgeries, sample collection) as well as downstream processing (histology, immunofluorescent stain and confocal imaging, flow cytometry, cell culture, single cell and bulk RNA sequencing) under supervision of the PI.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Immunology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics or other relevant branches of biological sciences, and at least two years of research and animal experience in a postdoctoral researcher position.
Laboratory Expectations
  • Routine molecular bench work combined with the use of animal models
  • Animal handling, injections, modified diet maintenance, surgeries, and sample collection
  • Downstream processing
  • Histology, immunofluorescent stain and confocal imaging, flow cytometry, and work with cell cultures and single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing

Preferred Experience
  • Able to utilize a variety of molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to PCR, qPCR, western blotting, RNA/DNA extraction, cloning, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, and next generation sequencing.
  • Experience with animal handling, animal breeding, genotyping, and animal surgery.
  • Experience with single-cell transcriptomic analyses.
  • Experience with histology pipeline from tissue harvest to embedding, sectioning, staining, and confocal microscopy.
  • Experience with flow cytometry and mass spectrometry.
  • Excellent written and oral communication and organizational skills.
  • Able to perform data analysis and interpretation using bioinformatics tools, statistical methods, and relevant software packages.

Laboratory Duties
  • Animal breeding, genotyping, handling, and surgery
  • Molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to PCR, qPCR, western blotting, RNA/DNA extraction, cloning, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, and next generation sequencing.
  • Flow cytometry and mass spectrometry.
  • Histology pipeline from tissue harvest to embedding, sectioning, staining, and confocal microscopy.
  • Design and execute experiments to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes.
  • Plan and develop standard operating protocols for experimental protocols.
  • Review and analyze resulting research data.
  • Revise techniques or approaches to work problems that are indicated as necessary by research data.
  • May confer with industrial, governmental, or other groups concerning progress or results of research project.
  • Maintain a respectful and inclusive laboratory environment.
  • Maintain a clean and functional workspace.
  • Analyze and interpret experimental data using relevant software and statistical methods.
  • Stay current with advances in molecular biology research and contribute to the development of new methodologies and techniques.
  • Prepare research findings for publication in scientific journals and present results at conferences and meetings, including weekly laboratory meetings and reading/writing clubs.
  • Contribute to grant writing and fundraising efforts to support research activities.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to contribute molecular biology expertise to research projects and initiatives.
  • Assist in the training and supervision of junior laboratory personnel, including technicians, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.
