Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Molecular Biologist to join the Core Technologies team and collaborate with scientists across the organization. Core Technologies implements scientific tools and molecular techniques to solve biological research problems, with a particular focus on mapping genotype phenotype relationships. In this role, you’ll spearhead our efforts in mutagenesis, polymorphism targeted sequencing, and molecular phenotype identification. You will lead molecular assay development, translating pilot projects into robust systems accessible across the company. Our evolutionary perspective spans the tree of life, and you’ll help drive this vision by designing experiments and developing protocols tailored to diverse, non-traditional, model organisms. You’ll design and optimize novel molecular workflows to interrogate genotype–phenotype relationships, with a focus on developing NGS-based assays beyond traditional short-read sequencing. More broadly, you’ll serve as a molecular biology expert, guiding decision-making and ensuring scientific rigor across experimental efforts.

Job Responsibility

  • Design and execute protocols for mutagenesis and targeted sequencing of polymorphisms across a broad range of unicellular and multicellular organisms
  • Develop and implement quantitative and qualitative molecular assays to enable screening and functional characterization of diverse molecular phenotypes
  • Ensure quality of resulting datasets is appropriate for downstream applications and assays and processes are well documented and parameterized
  • Independently troubleshoot challenges, such as comparing orthologous techniques for capturing relevant genotypic data at higher throughput and lower cost
  • Prepare RNA and DNA libraries for sequencing
  • Automate or develop higher throughput strategies for recurring molecular biology workflows
  • Project manage contract work with outside consultants, CROs, and sequencing vendors
  • Manage and guide team performance and provide professional and technical mentorship
  • Keep detailed experimental records and documentation (SOPs) for all workflows
  • Synthesize ideas, data, and findings into fully open-access pubs and engage with the scientific community to maximize impact and garner feedback that improves the work

Requirements

  • Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Molecular Biology or Biochemistry
  • At least 3 years of full-time relevant scientific experience post-PhD, including leadership roles
  • Hands-on technical experience in the following areas: mutagenesis, NGS method development, and library prep optimization
  • Experience building and optimizing computational pipelines to analyze NGS experiments
  • Passionate about Tidy Data and bioinformatic workflows that follow best software development practices
  • Effective project management ability demonstrated by ability to scope work with key stakeholders, create milestones and timelines, identify blockers
  • Ability to align team with cross-functional goals and organize effective collaborations
  • An excellent verbal and written science communicator for both general and technical audiences
