Come join GT Molecular, a fast-growing biotech company located in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado We are a passionate bunch, dedicated to creating the latest in ultrasensitive molecular assays that help in the fight against cancer and other dangerous pathogens. Our customers include CLIA labs, academic research Institutions, and municipalities… From cancer research to community-wide, wastewater-based epidemiology to translational testing, our work protects and improves people's lives.

 

This role requires a hands-on leader with a strong background in molecular biology, genomics, and assay development, along with a proven ability to guide multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced environment.

 

This is a unique opportunity to have a front row seat in a highly successful biotech where you and your team will partner with leading university research groups and biotechs worldwide who use our products. 

 

Your colleagues are a group of passionate scientists, bioinformatics engineers, operations, and translational testing microbiologists and chemists who are committed to delivering tech that achieves earlier cancer diagnostics and protects communities from harmful pathogens. 

 

You will be working with our teams to deploy and build upon our patented chemistry for new multiplex digital PCR assays and NGS testing services to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives around the world.

  • You love doing primary research when needed to understand the science from first principles and how it applies to the problem at hand.
  • Your critical thinking skills are excellent and you are a passionate science 'nerd' -- don't worry we are too ;-) That said, you are also driven to use science in a practical way to bring game-changing solutions to market that positively impact communities and improve people’s health.
  • You love communicating science and solutions to customers and collaborators as well as building up and 'cheerleading' your team to do the same.

 

Additional experience that would be nice to see:

  • Experience with diagnostic or therapeutic assays (e.g., CLIA, FDA, or CE-IVD)..
  • Proficiency in bioinformatics and data analysis tools relevant to NGS.
