About the Job
The Senior Research Associate (SRA), Assay Development supports feasibility, development, design, laboratory systems integration, and validation/verification testing of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based molecular diagnostic assays for internal and external research projects. As a Senior Research Associate position, the incumbent is responsible for leveraging additional years of experience and/or education for a more advanced level of analysis and research activities. The SRA prepares and analyzes human specimens, conducts laboratory experiments within guidelines, and operates and maintains complex scientific equipment, such as high throughput liquid handlers. Additionally, the SRA evaluates and summarizes results, prepares reports, presents data, and remains up to date with current publications relative to methods and techniques within relevant areas of research to leverage and integrate these into products developed by Foundation Medicine. This role will have the unique opportunity to work cross-functionally in a product development environment to advance Foundation Medicine's market-leading CGP tests focused at improving outcomes for cancer patients.
Key Responsibilities
Prepare and isolate nucleic acid from oncology specimens (such as DNA/RNA extraction from FFPE tissues and blood samples). Perform standard molecular biology techniques (such as enzymatic manipulation of DNA and RNA). Perform specialized and complex experiments in such areas of Next Generation Sequencing. Operate complex laboratory equipment such as high throughput liquid handlers and Illumina sequencers. Support the timely processing and reporting of oncology samples to internal and external collaborators. Manage experimental data in a computer database (e.g. LIMS). Analyze and troubleshoot research test results. Maintain detailed notes of experimental data with proper documentation. Prepare reports and presentations to communicate results in group meetings. Develop and follow SOPs. Train and mentor other team members on standard operating procedures. Participate in training sessions and workshops. Independently perform lab testing. Other duties as assigned.Qualifications
