Description

We are seeking two self-motivated, reliable and well-trained Genomics Assistants to join the Stem Cell Institute's Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) facility.

This facility supports the general NGS needs of our researchers and is currently expanding into delivering spatial genomics services.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced molecular biologist with proven skills in RNA/DNA manipulation and a working knowledge of NGS and single cell sequencing technologies.

You will be responsible for performing a variety of bulk and single cell NGS protocols.

Routine tasks will include coordinating the receipt and processing of incoming bulk and single cell samples, independently assessing QC results, confidently choosing and performing a wide range of NGS protocols, running the Chromium X and the Visium Cytassist, general lab maintenance, liaising with customers about their results, submitting samples for sequencing and detailed record keeping.

You will have demonstrable organizational, documentation and time management skills, and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with all levels of staff.

The ability to work well both independently and with others as part of a team is essential.

Prior experience of cell culture or histology would be advantageous, but experience in stem cell biology is not necessary.

This is a full time role for 36.5 hours per week.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
