Requirements
- B.S. or M.Sc. in Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, or a related field with 3+ years of relevant industry or equivalent laboratory experience.
- Working knowledge of core molecular and cell biology techniques, such as transfection, nucleic acid and protein handling, and plate-based readouts.
- Experience with automated, computer-controlled laboratory instrumentation such as liquid handlers, plate readers, and imagers, in 384 and 1536-well formats.
- Demonstrated ability to move experimental work forward independently and efficiently with general direction rather than step-by-step instruction.
- Demonstrated ability to adapt and quickly learn new techniques and instrumentation.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with assay qualification concepts and statistical quality metrics, such as Z', signal-to-background, CV, and dose-response fitting.
- Comfort with computational tools for data analysis in Python, R, or equivalent.
- Experience with genetic perturbation approaches such as CRISPR or RNAi, or with omics readouts such as transcriptomics or proteomics.
