  • Sequencing Development Lead, NGS Technologies

    The Sequencing Lead will be responsible for the development of sequencing chemistry related aspects of a QIAGEN next generation sequencing workflow. In this role the Sequencing Lead will lead a team of scientists and technical staff in a matrix role and be responsible to deliver all technical performance aspects of the sequencing process. Proactive interaction across different groups and departments is expected. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Lead with experience in managing a team and next-generation sequencing technologies.


    The Sequencing Lead will:


    Direct the development of all aspects of the sequencing segment of the NGS workflow, including chemistry, disposables, cooperate with hardware and software

    Ensure that all development activities within this area are compliant with QIAGEN global product development procedures

    Supervise the activities of a team of scientists and technical staff in a matrix management role

    Deliver the required technical performance of the sequencing process according to specification, on time and within budget

    Work collaboratively with other groups and departments (e.g. Operations department, Project Management) within the project to contribute to the successful development of the NGS workflow, from sample to insight

    Mentor and develop staff under their direction (in matrix role)

    Oversee experimental analysis to facilitate troubleshooting and development decision

    Experience with product development under design control is preferred

    Represent QIAGEN at scientific conferences and other outward facing events

    REQUIREMENTS

    PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or related fields

    Preferably 7+ years of relevant industry experience

    Excellent understanding of the underlying technical principles of next generation sequencing chemistries and workflows, associated instrumentation platforms and data analysis and interpretation algorithms

    Mandatory experience in next generation sequencing (NGS) technology and product development with a documented record of success in the life sciences and/or molecular diagnostics space

    Strong management skills with a track record of increasing responsibilities and the management of groups in a matrix; international experience preferred

    Very good troubleshooting, problem solving and organizational skills

    Proven leadership and successful decision-making qualities

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
