Molecular Biologist

Job Description

Lab-based position, will help process PBMCs and perform functional experiments as well as characterization using different single cell OMICs techniques.

We are looking for a candidate who is passionate about learning and has excellent attention to detail, to support target identification and validation efforts within our Immunology R&D division. The ideal candidate will have academic or industry experience in molecular and cell biology, with a preference for expertise in single-cell technologies, including single-cell next- sequencing (NGS), flow cytometry, and human cell culture.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct high-throughput functional experiments with immune cells “in vitro” and characterize outcomes at the single-cell level using various omics techniques.
• Perform scRNAseq library preparations manually or with automated liquid handlers (e.g., Biomek i7) as part of a team.
• Operate flow cytometry and sorting machines to characterize the single-cell proteome and isolate targeted cells.
• Utilize Illumina sequencers and other laboratory instruments for NGS library quality control (e.g., Tapestation).
• Accurately document project details, protocols, and experimental procedures in the Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN).
• Collaborate with computational biologists and data scientists to generate and interpret scOMICs datasets.

• Required Qualifications:

  • BS or equivalent education with 1-3+ years of experience or MS or equivalent education
  • Strong background in basic molecular biology and cellular biology/or genomics with experience in molecular biology lab techniques such as flow cytometry and DNA/RNA extraction, as well as familiarity with PBMC isolation, handling and cell culture.

  Qualifications:

  • Experience with flow cytometry.
  • Experience with human cell culture and functional experiments.
  • Familiarity with 10X Genomics platforms.
  • Background in R and immunology is a plus but not required.
