Scientist - II (Associate) - MA

Contract Opportunity: Scientist (Level TBD) in Single Cell Omics
We are seeking a dynamic and highly skilled scientist with expertise in single cell omics data generation and cell handling to support critical initiatives within our Data, AI, and Genome Sciences department in Cambridge, MA.
This contract position requires exceptional interpersonal and problem-solving abilities, along with a proven track record of collaboration in cross-functional teams.
You will be instrumental in supporting innovative single cell omics workflows and applying advanced single cell assays to enhance discovery and validation processes.

Key Responsibilities:
Prepare high-quality cell and nuclei samples for single cell assays.
Design and execute large-scale workflows for single cell assays, focusing on cell preparation and library generation across various platforms using automation (e.g., 10X Genomics 3/5 and Flex assays, Parse, Scale Bio, etc.).
Perform library quantification and sequencing of single cell libraries utilizing Illumina platforms (e.g., NovaSeq).
Collaborate closely with experimental biologists to address biological inquiries, develop workflow strategies, and formulate experimental plans.
Clearly communicate and document assay procedures and workflows for both computational and experimental teams through comprehensive reports and presentations, facilitating efficient analysis and planning.
Keep abreast of the latest developments in single cell technologies, computational techniques, and relevant biological disciplines.
Ensure meticulous documentation of workflows and experimental results.
