- Drive innovation through development of new sequencing-based QC platforms and analytics - NGS, WGS, WES, epigenome, transcriptome / RNASeq, single-cell RNA and DNA sequencing (scRNA, scDNA).
- Design, execute, and interpret data from sophisticated experiments and clearly communicate key findings to teams within Resilience R&D.
- Perform library preparation and sequencing runs using current and prototype sequencing systems, as required.
- Perform practical beta-testing of new bioinformatics pipelines and algorithms.
- Prepare and follow standard operating procedures, batch records, and other process documentation.
- Analyze and document experimental data in electronic laboratory notebooks in a timely and accurate manner in accordance with the company quality management system.
- Mentor research associates in proper laboratory techniques and scientific experimental design.
- Attend and present scientific data to colleagues at internal meetings.
- Participate in daily Agile stand-ups and weekly sprints with other members of the research team.
Qualifications
- PhD degree in Biology, Engineering, Medicine or related discipline with 2-5 years of laboratory research or industry experience.
- 3+ years of expertise in library design and preparation for complex sequencing programs and/or single cell techniques to enable high-throughput, data-driven laboratory operations.
- Extensive hands-on experience in Sanger, NGS, and single cell sequencing systems.
- Familiarity with methods and systems used in biomanufacturing, essential molecular biology and methods such as PCR, purification, gel electrophoresis, sequencing, and high dimensional cell characterization approaches
- Demonstrated independent problem solving and systematic data-driven experimental design and execution.
- Demonstrated ability to clearly communicate technical information and roadmaps through written protocols and/or presentations containing clean figures and visualizations.
- Innovative and analytical thinker with outstanding interpersonal, communication, and leadership skill.
- Must be highly disciplined and organized, self-motivated and enthusiastic about taking a hands-on approach to collaborative scientific discovery efforts.
Preferred Experience
- Expertise in CRISPR and vector design and related annotation tools
- Expertise in designing PCR and NGS assays for genome engineering
- Ability to run WGS and RNAseq analysis pipelines
- Knowledge of and experience with molecular biology and/or synthetic biology experimental approaches
- Hands-on lab knowledge and experience with current and next-gen genome engineering and sequencing technologies
- Working knowledge of current and next-gen automation systems, bioinformatics, and machine learning as related to biology
- Pre-clinical R&D and IND filing for a cell or gene therapy product or technology
- Knowledge of viral vector design (AAV, Lentivirus, Gamma retrovirus) and vector manufacturing processes.
- Knowledge of cell therapy QC assays (incoming patient QC, inline viability, potency and release assays).
- Experience with novel genome editing nucleases and editing characterization methods (off-target analyses).
- Awareness of large-scale machine learning techniques, graph modeling, Bayesian analytics.
- Experience in interfacing with laboratory automation (e.g. automated liquid handlers) and data analysis software.
- Experience with coding and running bioinformatics scripts (Python, numpy, scipy, pandas, jupyter).
