  • Senior Scientist, Enzyme Engineering (NGS)

    Senior Scientist, Enzyme Engineering, NGS Technologies will be responsible for the development of novel improved enzymes that will be used in Qiagen’s NGS workflows. These enzymes include sequencing enzymes for the sequencing by synthesis processes as well as novel enzymes used for nucleic acids amplification. In this role Senior Scientist, Enzyme Engineering will focus on near and long term improvements to existing Gene Reader workflows as well as perform research on novel internal and external technologies which will expand the range of applications and capabilities supported by future NGS workflows/platforms. The position will have a key role in bringing innovative solutions to current and future NGS platforms and expanding the range of applications served by these platforms. Senior Scientist will be working closely with Sample Prep and Sequencing teams as well as Engineering to ensure seamless integration of novel enzymes into QIAGEN’s NGS portfolio.

    In this role Senior Scientist, Enzyme Engineering, NGS Technologies will:


    Investigate and develop technologies and approaches (internal and external) to the development of novel sequencing enzymes with improved properties including mutagenesis, in silico design and in vitro evolution which significantly improve performance and capabilities of the Gene Reader workflows

    Work closely with Sequencing Chemistry developers to integrate novel sequencing enzymes into the Gene Reader workflows

    Evaluate external technologies and engage in external collaborations to bring novel technologies to QIAGEN’s NGS portfolio

    Play a key role in the development of future improvements, technological advances in the QIAGEN NGS platform and expansion of intellectual property

    Participate in collaborations with key external partners (industry and academia)

    Mentor and develop staff

    Deliver key insights into product application opportunities for the Qiagen's NGS platforms

    REQUIREMENTS

    PhD in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Bioengineering or related fields
    At least 5-10 years of relevant industry experience (NGS and adjacent technologies)

    Extensive experience with protein engineering based on rational design, mutagenesis, in silico design, and enzyme in vitro evolution

    Experience with protein purification and enzymatic activity measurements/ assays

    Experience with diagnostic assay development and regulatory environment is a plus

    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 development (DNA amplification, sample preparation, chemistry, instrumentation)

    Very good troubleshooting and problem solving skills

    Proven leadership and successful decision-making qualities

    Strong technical writing and presentation skills

    Moderate travel required (up to 10%)

    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...
