Summary:
The hiring manager is seeking an entry-level laboratory associate with foundational molecular biology knowledge, hands-on laboratory experience, and a genuine interest in developing a long-term scientific career. A bachelor’s degree in a relevant scientific field is preferred, and experience gained through academic research, internships, or industry is acceptable. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, organized, scientifically curious, and comfortable supporting high-volume DNA sample processing, sample tracking, and automated laboratory workflows. Strong communication, adaptability, and the ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining accurate documentation are essential. The manager values candidates who understand the reasoning behind laboratory procedures, demonstrate learning agility, and are eager to grow professionally.
Responsibilities:
- Coordinate the receipt, organization, tracking, and prioritization of incoming samples.
- Prepare sequencing libraries and perform quality-control checks.
- Review quality-control and sequencing reports, flagging results or issues for follow-up.
- Document experiments, procedures, and results accurately and promptly in electronic laboratory notebooks.
- Use laboratory automation and robotics to support sample processing and other workflows.
- Maintain cell cultures and complete related laboratory tasks.
- Communicate and coordinate with across teams to support shared projects.
- Attend project meetings to stay current on incoming work, priorities, and timelines.
- Maintain an organized laboratory and assist with general lab upkeep as needed.
- Expected accomplishments and measures of success:
- The worker is expected to provide accurate, timely sample-processing and sequencing-library support across teams. They will maintain complete sample and notebook records, review reports, flag issues, and take on trained tasks with increasing independence.
- Success will be measured by whether the worker:
- Completes assigned work accurately and within agreed timelines.
- Maintains complete records and communicates or escalates issues promptly.
- Collaborates effectively with NGS and TED teams.
- Learns assigned procedures and performs routine tasks with increasing independence.
Top 3 Must Have Skill Sets:
- Scientific acumen and critical thinking:
- Look for research or coursework showing that the candidate understood the purpose of an experiment, followed a method, analyzed results, and drew evidence-based conclusions. Experience with molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, biochemistry, or sequencing is especially relevant.
- Efficient, detail-oriented execution:
- Look for examples of completing hands-on work accurately while managing multiple samples, experiments, or deadlines. Experience with repetitive protocols, high sample volumes, careful recordkeeping, or meeting time-sensitive project milestones can suggest readiness for a fast-paced lab.
- Learning agility and initiative:
- Look for examples of learning a new technique or instrument, troubleshooting an unexpected result, taking ownership of a project, or contributing beyond assigned tasks. These are useful indicators that the candidate can grow into NGS, cell culture, and automation workflows.
