We are looking for an experienced molecular biologist / scientist to strengthen SCellex R&D team.
About SCellex:
SCellex is a Finnish start-up company that is developing a novel high-throughput spatial transcriptomics method for the rapidly expanding single-cell omics field. SCellex technology aids researchers in pharma, diagnostics, and academia in examining tissues and single cells in a high-throughput manner with high resolution. Our technology is based on patent-pending visual barcoding of single-cell-sized picowells in an array. SCellex arrays enable RNA capture directly from tissue sections and from single-cell suspensions, linking the well positions and image of the cells to their RNAseq and multi-omics sequence read-outs.
Job description:
You will develop and optimize various lab protocols for the ready-to-use picowell array chip for spatial transcriptomics. The workflow consists of several steps: microscopy, RNA release and capture from the tissue or cells, cDNA synthesis, PCR amplification, NGS library preparation as well as quality checks with data analysis and interpretation steps. You have experience in nucleic acid research methods and their applications. You have preferably worked with NGS technologies and have a good understanding of the principles of NGS libraries and data analyses. Experience in single cell or spatial analysis technologies is beneficial, as well as in tissue preparation and cell culture technologies. Experience from industry is also advantageous.
We are looking for:
– You have a PhD or MSc in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry or related field.
– You have experience in nucleic acid research methods, and their applications.
Beneficial/advantageous:
– Experience in single cell and/or spatial technologies
– Experience with NGS technologies
As a person you are:
– Open-minded with a problem-solving and can-do attitude
– Team player, but you can also work independently
– Flexible
