Job description

We are seeking an outstanding researcher to join the ranks of a fast-growing startup in the biotech industry. The successful candidate will be part of a fast-paced, innovative R&D team and will have opportunities to work on developing technologies that will have immediate commercial impact. They will contribute towards the experimental design, execution, and analysis of novel nucleic acid assays.
This is a temporary role for a duration of six (6) months, with a possibility of a 3-month extension.
Job Duties
  • Originate new innovative ideas in the area of metagenomics next-generation sequencing (mNGS), sample preparation and host depletion for diverse clinical specimen types.
  • Experience in maintaining cultures of microorganisms (bacteria and viruses).
  • Design and execute experiments, analyze results, and report conclusions.
  • Assume ownership of key projects and perform prerequisite tasks independently.
  • Optimize assay conditions with statistical decision-making to achieve commercial levels of stability, robustness, and performance.
  • Be a strong individual contributor as well as a collaborative team member.
  • Conduct clear and concise communication with colleagues and supervisors through oral updates, written reports, and technical meetings.
  • Maintain a detailed record of all research avenues pursued.
  • Demonstrate flexibility without compromising productivity.

Requirements
  • PhD in molecular biology, genetics, genomics, biochemistry or microbiology.
  • Experience in developing mNGS workflow and/or host depletion solutions is a plus.
  • At least one first-author publication stemming from doctoral work.
  • Strong analytical skills, hypothesis-driven, quantitative frame of mind.
  • At least four (4) years of experience in wet-lab experimentation with a deep understanding of different molecular biology tools.
  • Familiarity with bioinformatics and data analysis tools.
  • Ability to meticulously design, plan and execute complex experimental designs, analyze large data sets, and interpret results (by way of statistics when applicable).
  • Capacity to articulate concise reports that convey key findings.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • A well-mannered laser-focused individual who values innovation and productization.
  • Experience in grant writing, grant management and project management is a plus.
