Research Scientist II - Analytical Genomics Laboratory

Key Responsibilities Perform experiments using established single-cell and spatial profiling workflows. Execute sample preparation, library construction, and sequencing-related protocols per SOPs and study plans. Provide input on sample requirements, workflow feasibility, timing, and run setup (under guidance). Support troubleshooting and implement approved protocol adjustments; escape technical issues as appropriate. Ensure accurate documentation and reproducibility. Operate and maintain relevant instruments (routine care and basic troubleshooting). Support training of other staff on instrument use and protocol adherence. Perform initial data processing for spatial and single-cell genomics datasets using appropriate bioinformatics tools. Collaborate with data scientists; contribute to reports and internal presentations. Work with local and remote cross-functional teams; communicate experimental status and technical observations. Document work accurately; monitor QC measures to ensure data integrity and compliance with lab standards. Stay current with advances in single-cell/spatial genomics and help integrate best practices into lab workflows. Essential Requirements MS (or BS + 2 years experience) in Molecular Biology, Genomics, Biochemistry, or related field (or equivalent experience). 1–2 years hands-on experience with spatial transcriptomics and/or single-cell sequencing. Knowledge of molecular biology techniques including PCR, qRT-PCR, enzymatic reactions, DNA/RNA purification and manipulation. Experience troubleshooting and optimizing protocols (with guidance) for complex genomics assays. Knowledge of NGS library preparation and sequencing workflows. Desirable Requirements Experience with tissue processing, imaging, IHC, and microscopy. #J-18808-Ljbffr Scorpion Therapeutics
