  • Ability to learn new laboratory techniques and perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
  • Authorization to work in the United States indefinitely without restriction or sponsorship.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Hands-on experience with basic molecular biology techniques such as PCR, nucleic acid quantification, DNA extraction, and purification.
  • Experience with DNA sequencing workflows, including Sanger sequencing and/or Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
  • Experience operating ABI 3730xl instruments is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with automated liquid handlers and standard laboratory instrumentation.
  • Experience working in an ISO-9000, cGMP, or similarly regulated environment.
