Research Associate 2

The Research Associate 2 will independently execute and optimize molecular biology and in-situ multiomics workflows in support of assay development and product launch. This role combines hands-on molecular biology, tissue-based assays, imaging, sequencing workflows, and data analysis.

Requirements

• Independently execute and optimize molecular biology and spatial multiomics workflows with high reproducibility and attention to detail
• Perform standard molecular biology techniques including DNA/RNA purification and quantification, PCR/qPCR, gel electrophoresis, and other basic assays
• Conduct and troubleshoot tissue-based assays including H&E staining, immunostaining, and in situ hybridization (ISH)
• Evaluate tissue morphology and assay performance to inform technical decision-making
• Operate and maintain laboratory instrumentation, including the G4X benchtop sequencer
• Utilize imaging software (e.g., FIJI/ImageJ) to evaluate raw images
• Interpret experimental data to inform decisions and guide next steps
• Identify technical challenges and propose data-driven solutions to improve assay robustness and workflow efficiency
• Document experimental design, protocols, and results clearly and comprehensively
• Present technical findings to cross-functional teams and contribute to project discussions
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams (molecular biology, imaging, bioinformatics, engineering) to advance platform development
• Maintain laboratory inventory, ensure proper instrument maintenance, and uphold a safe and organized work environment

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible PTO
• 401(k) matching
• Employee assistance program
