This job might be right for you if:
- You are interested in joining a team of professionals dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge. This is an opportunity to leave your mark.
- You love taking on difficult challenges and finding the best solution whether it be tried-and-true or cutting edge.
- You enjoy helping others. Taking a few moments to explain how sequencing works makes you feel warm and fuzzy. You are patient and levelheaded.
- You pay attention to detail. Every analysis, big or small, is worth doing well, every single time so that the results are robust and reproducible.
- You are motivated and driven. You take ownership of your projects. You like learning new things and advancing your skillset. If you don’t know the answer, you’ll dig until you find it.
- You play well with others. You enjoy collaborating and working as a team. You respect the skills each team member brings to the table while still being willing to provide constructive criticism.
