About the Role

This role focuses on designing, planning, and executing experiments within a single-cell RNA sequencing pipeline, from sample preparation to NGS sequencing library preparation and quality control. The position involves hands-on laboratory work, data analysis, and collaboration within a dynamic start-up environment.

Responsibilities

  • Design, plan, and execute experiments using single-cell RNA sequencing pipeline from sample preparation and capture to NGS sequencing library preparation and QC with high precision.
  • Prepare single-cell and single-nuclei samples for next-generation sequencing (NGS) and other applications.
  • Conduct fluorescence and/or magnetic-activated cell sorting experiments.
  • Optimize and improve workflow, and streamline processes.
  • Collect, organize, and manage sample inventory.
  • Organize and maintain detailed experimental records in accordance with industry standards.
  • Manage reagent inventory and equipment calibration/maintenance.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and colleagues.
  • Analyze data, interpret and present results at team meetings.
  • Support other Discovery projects involving human neuronal cell culture and cell-based assays.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Biology, Molecular/Cell Biology or related field.
  • Experience with single-cell NGS sample prep workflow (cell capture using microfluidics, cDNA and library preparation, QC and sequencing).
  • Experience with flow cytometry and fluorescence activated and/or magnetic cell sorting (FACS/MACS).
  • Familiarity with DNA/RNA library QC techniques (Tapestation, Bioanalyzer, Qubit, etc.).
  • Working knowledge of standard molecular biology techniques (PCR, qPCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA/RNA extraction).
  • Strong organizational and analytical skills.
  • Willingness to perform repetitive tasks with high accuracy and superb attention to detail.
  • Willingness to learn and expand skill set and contribute to emerging needs in a highly dynamic start-up environment.
  • Ability to multitask while working within fast-paced timelines.
  • High integrity, excellent written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Strong team player and problem-solver, able to work on teams and independently.
