The Frederick National Laboratory is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc.  The lab addresses some of the most urgent and intractable problems in the biomedical sciences in cancer and AIDS, drug development and first-in-human clinical trials, applications of nanotechnology in medicine, and rapid response to emerging threats of infectious diseases.

Accountability, Compassion, Collaboration, Dedication, Integrity and Versatility; it's the FNL way.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Cancer Genomics Research Laboratory (CGR) investigates the contribution of germline and somatic genetic variation to cancer susceptibility and outcomes in support of the NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), the world’s most comprehensive cancer epidemiology research group.  CGR is located at the NCI-Shady Grove campus in Rockville, MD and operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc.  We care deeply about discovering the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer, and new approaches to cancer prevention, through our contributions to the molecular, genetic, and epidemiologic research of the 70+ investigators in DCEG.  Working in concert with epidemiologists, biostatisticians and basic research scientists in DCEG’s intramural research program, CGR provides the capacity to conduct genome-wide discovery studies and targeted regional approaches to identify the heritable determinants of various forms of cancer. This includes the design and analysis of high throughput studies using various types of “–omics” technologies such as array- and sequence-based genome-wide studies, analysis of tumor characteristics using integrated genomic data approaches, and molecular epidemiologic studies based on novel assays. We are seeking a highly motivated, independent scientist to lead our Development, Optimization & Implementation team to establish and support new pipelines for numerous technologies required to support DCEG investigators and CGR in multiple areas of human, bacterial, and viral nucleic acid research. Additionally, the successful incumbent will have significant expertise in high throughput automation, workflow and SOP development, LIMS user requirement design and technology transfer into multiple environments. 

KEY ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES

Work in close coordination with other CGR groups and DCEG investigators to develop, optimize and implement new protocols and applications into CGR laboratories for molecular and digital pathology, sample extraction and characterization, genomics (germline and somatic), and proteomics analyses. Conduct hands-on laboratory research activities involving assay development for genomic, proteomic, viral and microbiome testing. Demonstrable skills in experimental design, including capabilities in data analysis, interpretation, and visual presentation of results. Ability to contribute to and lead scientific publication development. Maintain thorough electronic documentation records of experimental plans, data, results, and next steps. Preparation of results in report format and presentation in cross-functional meetings with senior CGR leadership and DCEG investigators. Author documents supporting applications and convert newly developed protocols and procedures into SOPs. Demonstrable ability to train staff and implement new protocols. Design and implement technical automation solutions for a wide array of applications and maintain a suite of liquid handlers, robotic equipment, and integrated instrumentation with an eye towards fault-tolerant workflows to increase productivity, throughput, and consistency of laboratory processes and procedures. Experience in management of staff in a cross-functional matrix organization.
