Job Duties:

  • Design, develop, and execute functional genomics assays, including CRISPR-based editing (e.g., RNP delivery, Perturb-seq), single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and CITE-seq.
  • Provide technical guidance and training to research scientists on FGSL technologies and techniques, including assay execution, troubleshooting, and resolution of technical issues;
  • Documents and maintains detailed laboratory records in accordance with policies;
  • Operates and maintains lab equipment in collaboration with other lab members;
  • Assists acquisition of necessary supplies and equipment;
  • Defines and performs appropriate QC measures; 
  • Follows relevant scientific literature to ensure use of optimal methods and understand emerging practices across the field;
  • Demonstrates the ability to interpret the outcome of experiments, propose appropriate follow-up, and may propose new avenues of investigation;
  • Communicates own work effectively orally and in writing; contributes to writing protocols, procedures, and technical reports
  • Automate processing and results reporting and delivery;
  • Reports and treats data with a high level of integrity and ethics

Required Experience:

  • CRISPR assays - Must have personally designed guides, performed transfections/infections, selected edited cells, and validated knockouts/knockins
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) - Hands-on library preparation experience (not just data analysis)
  • Single cell technologies - Personal experience with sample prep, library generation, and quality control
  • Standard molecular biology techniques - qPCR, Western blot, cloning, gel electrophoresis
