The Sequencing Lead will be responsible for the development of sequencing chemistry related aspects of a QIAGEN next generation sequencing workflow. In this role the Sequencing Lead will lead a team of scientists and technical staff in a matrix role and be responsible to deliver all technical performance aspects of the sequencing process. Proactive interaction across different groups and departments is expected. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Lead with experience in managing a team and next-generation sequencing technologies.
The Sequencing Lead will:
Direct the development of all aspects of the sequencing segment of the NGS workflow, including chemistry, disposables, cooperate with hardware and software
Ensure that all development activities within this area are compliant with QIAGEN global product development procedures
Supervise the activities of a team of scientists and technical staff in a matrix management role
Deliver the required technical performance of the sequencing process according to specification, on time and within budget
Work collaboratively with other groups and departments (e.g. Operations department, Project Management) within the project to contribute to the successful development of the NGS workflow, from sample to insight
Mentor and develop staff under their direction (in matrix role)
Oversee experimental analysis to facilitate troubleshooting and development decision
Experience with product development under design control is preferred
Represent QIAGEN at scientific conferences and other outward facing events
REQUIREMENTS
PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or related fields
Preferably 7+ years of relevant industry experience
Excellent understanding of the underlying technical principles of next generation sequencing chemistries and workflows, associated instrumentation platforms and data analysis and interpretation algorithms
Mandatory experience in next generation sequencing (NGS) technology and product development with a documented record of success in the life sciences and/or molecular diagnostics space
Strong management skills with a track record of increasing responsibilities and the management of groups in a matrix; international experience preferred
Very good troubleshooting, problem solving and organizational skills
Proven leadership and successful decision-making qualities
Strong technical writing and presentation skills
Strong intellectual property protection skills and patent record
