The posting

About this opportunity:

At Freenome, you will help develop the assay technologies used to analyze patient samples and contribute to our mission of early detection and intervention in human disease. As a Research Associate I/II, you will provide experience in next-generation-sequencing (NGS)-based analyses of DNA. Starting with a prototype assay, you will contribute to developing and validating clinical-grade assays to measure complex, blood-based analytes. You will work closely with multiple teams including molecular research, computational science, automation engineering, and clinical operations to develop the assays in a regulated, high-throughput environment as well as identify ways to rapidly iterate and improve on existing methods to evaluate technologies that can enhance our end-to-end test performance.

The role reports to the Senior Manager and Staff Research Scientist. This role will be an Onsite role.

What you’ll do:

  • Apply knowledge of molecular biology, nucleic-acid biochemistry, and next-generation sequencing to develop assays for DNA.
  • Characterize automated assays by generating and analyzing experimental data.
  • Gather high-quality data, take detailed notes, and openly communicate on lessons learned while performing experiments.
  • Collaborate with research team and computational biologists, understand how data reflect underlying molecular biology, and contribute to analyzing data and generating study conclusions.
  • Present data in cross functional teams.
  • Participate in troubleshooting efforts and design experiments with some supervisor guidance.
  • Help with process improvements across the lab by thinking critically about the execution of all experiments.

Must haves:

  • Bachelors with 1+ years of relevant industry experience or Masters in molecular biology, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience in NGS based assay development including sample preparation, library preparation, target capture, and sequencing.
  • Biological understanding of human cell-free nucleic acids, single-cell analysis methods, immunology, and/or cancer biology.
  • High attention to detail and ability to record accurate and detailed observations, assess impact, and perform troubleshooting as required.
  • Flexible and highly motivated to learn new skills and comfortable adapting to changing priorities.
  • Ability to manual pipette with high confidence, accuracy, and precision.
  • Clear and proactive communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with team members in the same and adjacent disciplines.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience working in a regulated laboratory environment (CLIA, GLP/GCLP, IVD development).
  • Experience with automated platforms in plate-based, low-volume formats and/or microfluidics and experience working with automated liquid handlers.
  • Experience using ELN (electronic lab notebook) and LIMS (lab information management system).
  • Familiarity with programing in a scientific programming language (e.g., Python or R).

Benefits and additional information:

The US target range of our base hourly rate for new hires is $37.68 - $46.69. You will also be eligible to receive equity, cash bonuses, and a full range of medical, financial, and other benefits depending on the position offered.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
