We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Research Officer (wet or dry) to join our team and work on Spatial and Single-Cell Genomics projects. The successful candidate will have a strong background in molecular biology, genomics, or a related field, and will be working closely with the research team for designing, executing and analyzing experiments related to drug response and drug delivery based on spatial transcriptomics and single-cell genomics.
Key Responsibilities:
Wet-capabilities
- Design, troubleshoot and execute experiments to investigate gene expression in single-cell and/or spatially resolved tissue samples
- Co-develop and optimize experimental protocols for single-cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics
Dry-capabilities
- Process and analyze large genomic data from transcriptomic and genomic assays including single-cell RNAseq, spatial transcriptomics, and other sequencing technologies (e.g. long reads)
- Co-develop algorithms and pipelines for single-cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics
General capabilities
- Maintain detailed experimental records and contribute to scientific discussions and reports (internally)
- Work collaboratively with other members of the team to develop and implement research strategies
Qualifications:
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, computer sciences, bioinformatics, or a related field
- For wet candidates: strong experience with molecular biology techniques, including (clinical) sample handling, PCR optimization, tissue culture, RNA isolation, and sequencing library preparation. Experience with microscopy, image analysis, and statistical analysis would be advantageous
- For dry candidates: Deep experience in single-cell genomics and/or spatial transcriptomics. Proficient in data analysis tools such as R, Python, familiar with analytical tools and algorithms. Comfortable with large data handling and processing.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively with other team members
- Excellent organizational and communication skills
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and growing research team, with excellent prospects for career development. If you are a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with a passion for molecular biology and genomics, we encourage you to apply.
