  • Senior R & D Scientist - Enzymology/NGS

    Rubicon Genomics develops and commercializes quality, innovative nucleic acid library preparation products which address research and diagnostic needs to easily and reliably analyze challenging clinical samples.

    Rubicon Genomics’ core competency is the creation of innovative molecular biology tools for genetic, epigenetic, and expression analysis. These competencies have served as engines for innovation, development of intellectual property, ongoing product development, and a commitment to customer service.

    POSITION SUMMARY: The Senior R&D Scientist at Rubicon will work in a dynamic, team-oriented environment and take part in the commercialization of innovative nucleic acid library preparation products used at the leading edge of research. They will initiate, lead and execute scientific research and development strategies to advance capabilities in genomic and expression analysis for molecular diagnostics and research. Rubicon is seeking a senior scientist with recognized standing in genomic modification and assay development and has demonstrated innovation and creativity. The candidate will have significant hands-on experience with nucleic acid polymerases, nucleic acid modifying enzymes, next generation sequencing and bioinformatics. Direct experience with design of experiments (DOE) is a strong plus.

    ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
     Conceives, designs, conducts, and leads advanced independent or multi-disciplinary research driven by strategic business needs
     Take a leadership role in projects and guide technical areas independently. Make decisions involving designing, performing, and troubleshooting experiments, as well as analyzing and presenting experimental results
     Provides a technical role model to others and provides consultation on challenging technical issues. Provide expertise in DNA/RNA modifying enzymes and next generation genomic data analysis
     Develops solutions to complex problems that require in-depth knowledge, experience and creativity
     Identifies, evaluates, and manages risk on research projects
     Responsible for own as well as their team’s lab book documentation and for the accuracy, quality, and timeliness of experimental results
     Manage goals within defined target timeframes and make decisions regarding the goals and progress of project teams
     Makes significant contributions to intellectual property, scientific literature, and conferences
     Be highly committed and deliver results in a fast-paced collaborative team environment
     Perform other duties as assigned

    QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
     Ph.D. degree in life science (enzymology, molecular biology/genomics, biochemistry, bioinformatics or related field) with 8+ years industrial experience or M.S./B.S. degree with additional progressive research experience sufficient to demonstrate equivalency
     Broad application of principles, theories, and concepts in enzymology, molecular biology, and/or nucleic acid chemistry
     Mastery of molecular biology and enzymology techniques such as PCR, qRT-PCR, Next Generation sequencing, nucleic acid purification, DNA & RNA modification & amplification, reverse transcription, nucleic acid separation techniques, etc.
     Significant experience in RNA sequencing is a plus
     NGS bioinformatics experience
     Design of experiment (DOE) experience
     Working knowledge of 21CFR Part 820, ISO, and GLP regulations desirable
     Knowledge and significant hands-on experience with nucleic acid polymerases, nucleic acid modifying enzymes, instrumentation for PCR/real time PCR, next generation sequencing platforms (Illumina required and Ion Torrent desirable), electrophoresis, nucleic acid quantification, imaging, etc.
     Proven track record of leading successful research projects

    INTERPERSONAL SKILLS:
     High level of integrity and reliability
     Excellent verbal and written communication skills
     Work independently and as part of a team

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
