Essential Supervisory Responsibilities

Oversee the day-to-day engagement and performance of Research Technicians assigned to active studies or method development work.
Support onboarding and skills development of lab personnel through training and ongoing mentorship in molecular biology techniques and data integrity.
Ensure team compliance with SOPs, safety procedures, and project-specific technical standards.

Essential Job Responsibilities

Leadership: Independently lead the planning, execution, and reporting of molecular biology components within assigned projects. Contribute as a scientific lead sponsor-funded studies, including exploratory and regulatory-aligned non-GLP studies, and internal R&D method validation initiatives.
Assay Development & Validation: Develop, optimize, and validate qPCR, ddPCR, and single-cell sequencing assays in alignment with study goals. Generate and maintain validation documentation consistent with internal quality frameworks.
Molecular Assay Execution: Conduct hands-on benchwork for molecular studies, ensuring high technical reproducibility and data integrity in nucleic acid quantification, gene expression profiling, and biomarker discovery.
Study Reporting: Analyze molecular results, prepare formal study summaries, and contribute data sections to final sponsor reports. Work closely with Study Directors and QA to ensure report clarity, scientific accuracy, and regulatory alignment.
Data Analysis & Interpretation: Use bioinformatics tools, statistical software, and custom pipelines to interpret single-cell and PCR-based datasets. Present findings to internal stakeholders and external collaborators as needed.
SOP & Documentation: Draft and maintain SOPs for molecular assays, instruments, and workflows. Ensure complete and compliant documentation in electronic notebooks and study folders.
Lab & Inventory Oversight: Monitor lab supplies and reagent inventories. Coordinate instrument calibration and troubleshooting with equipment vendors or internal support teams.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with study director teams and histopathology to align timelines, share data, and support integrated study execution.
Safety & Compliance: Promote and adhere to laboratory safety practices, including proper PPE usage and handling of biohazards and chemicals. Participate in regular safety and quality training sessions.
