Research Associate, AMP-Seq

We are looking for a motivated Research Associate to join our NGS amplicon sequencing production team within the cross functional Genomics Innovation group.

As a Research Associate, you will help run the Amplicon Sequencing (AMP-Seq) queue, which enables the company to evaluate gene editing outcomes for a variety of programs. In executing weekly AMP-Seq runs, you will support this central and critical process that helps advance potentially life changing CRISPR/Cas9-based therapeutics while learning more about NGS library prep and sequencing and liquid handling automation. AMP-Seq is central to Intellia, generating opportunities to work with research and early development teams, exploring a wide range of gene editing applications. Additionally, you will drive ongoing AMP-Seq related process improvement projects through hands on experimental work and in collaboration with the broader Genomics Innovation group. In this role, you will:

Work with the Amp-seq team on the day-to-day running of the high throughput AMP-Seq library construction and sequencing workflows, meeting weekly turnaround time deadlinesWork with liquid handling automation to support high throughput workflowsOperating and maintaining Illumina NextSeq2000 instrumentCollaborate with the team lead, team members, automation team, and programs/platform teams on AMP-Seq projectsExperimentally test and implement proposed process improvements for amplicon sequencingTroubleshoot process issues and review metrics for passing specifications, in collaboration with the team lead and other group membersPresent work at project team meetingsAbout You: The successful candidate will have a passion for lab work with a detail and process-oriented mindset. Successful applicants will also be interested in automation, high throughput workflows, genomics, and gene editing. Candidates must have enthusiasm to learn, grow, and work as part of a cross-functional team. BS in Molecular Biology or related field with relevant lab work experience such as an internship or co-op at a biotech/pharma company or work in an academic research labExperience with molecular biology techniques such as gel electrophoresis, PCR, DNA purification, adapter ligation, bead-based clean up, and/or sequencingStrong interest in genomics, NGS, and gene editing. Previous experience with Illumina NGS or PacBio long read sequencing would be a bonus.Some experience with liquid handling automation (ideally Hamilton) is preferredProficient in following, maintaining and writing SOPsStrong time management and process-oriented thinkingConscientious record keeping, experience maintaining an electronic lab notebookMeet your future team The team is focused on NGS applications for research and early development at Intellia. Much of the work supports the development of new editing technologies, guide RNA/mRNA/delivery modality screening, on- and off-target genome editing characterization of lead drug candidates. The team is working onsite to execute NGS workflows in a wet-lab environment. Therefore, we require a candidate to be local to Cambridge MA, or open to relocating. Our team is focused on building technical expertise and a deepening understanding of genomics in junior scientists interested in a career in therapeutic biotechnology. We work to foster an environment for exploration and growth. In this role, you can expect to join a team of hardworking, supportive, and curious scientists in a collaborative environment.
