Junior laboratory scientist / Post-doctoral fellow

Fusion Genomics is seeking a junior laboratory scientist / Post-doctoral fellow to join its interdisciplinary team of laboratory chemists, next-generation sequencing specialists and data scientists. The successful candidate must have extensive knowledge and working experience in next generation sequencing enzyme chemistries, liquid-phase hybridization capture and CAS enzyme systems. The candidate should also have demonstratable experience in multiple library construction assays such as RNAseq, FFPE RNAseq, and low sample input RNAseq. Experience with DNAseq, FFPE DNAseq, nextera, single cell sequencing, bisulfite sequencing, Hi-C, or other library construction techniques will be considered an asset. Candidate with prior experiences in developing and validating a clinical NGS assay, medium and high throughput liquid handling robots & automation and working in a diagnostic clinical microbiology or molecular lab, will be given preference. Responsibilities include performing large scale high throughput sequencing experiments using liquid handling robotics with minimal guidance, performing target capture enrichment experiments using liquid phase hybridization and enzyme guided chemistry, designing and executing complex experiments interfacing synthetic biology and high-throughput screening, and presenting data & results. The successful candidate should possess exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, should be very reliable, dedicated and easy to work with.
