Key Responsibilities:

  • Molecular diagnostic testing, clinical validation, and clinical reporting of metagenomic and PCR tests
  • Development of clinical protocols, validation of protocols, and delivery of LDTs
  • Collaboration with cross-functional teams for experimental design and reporting

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a related field (e.g., molecular biology, biochemistry)
  • At least 1-3 years of industry or academic lab experience, specifically in NGS library preparation
  • Strong communication skills for collaboration with diverse teams
  • Able to regularly lift 25lbs
  • Careful attention to detail and ability to work independently
