  • Laboratory Operations Scientist

    The New York Genome Center is looking for a highly motivated, independent but team-oriented individual with strong expertise in Next Generation Sequencing. As Laboratory Operations Scientist you will be responsible for optimization and troubleshooting all lab processes, protocols, and instrumentation in a rapidly growing next generation sequencing facility. Responsibilities will also include interpretation of sequencing and bioinformatics QC analysis to ensure the highest quality standards.

    Job Responsibilities:
    • Evaluate current sequencing operation procedures for their optimization and improvement.
    • Develop tools to monitor equipment more effectively to ensure high quality data.
    • Support process optimization through QC analytics.
    • Train employees on optimized processes and troubleshooting strategies.
    • Contribute to the development of Standard Operating Procedures.
    • Provide support to the lab as needed, including sample QC, library prep, sequencing, and lab audits.
    • Help with the development and implementation of a laboratory information management system.
    • Work with Project Management and other teams/departments to ensure project deadlines are achieved.
    • Interpret QC data and troubleshoot laboratory protocols and data analysis.
    • Implement and execute QC measures critical to experiment design and process execution.

    Candidate Profile:
    • Advanced degree in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry or related field plus laboratory experience in nucleic acid research required, PhD preferred;
    • 5+ years of demonstrated experience in a molecular Biology Lab with at least 3+ years of experience in NGS;
    • Demonstrated skill in troubleshooting techniques, interpreting run analysis data, run quality assessment, and routine machine maintenance and repair;
    • Excellent communication skills, detail oriented, and highly motivated;
    • Solid knowledge of molecular biology techniques and related protocols and equipment;
