How Will You Make an Impact?
 
The Scientist III, Molecular Biology, will take a leading role in development for internal Molecular Diagnostic (MDx) assays as well as new product introductions (NPI). The successful candidate will provide technical expertise on a project and department level and will be expected to integrate into a dynamic and multidisciplinary team. The successful individual is required to exhibit a results oriented attitude with the ability to thrive in the fast paced environment of biotechnology and MDx.
 
The Scientist III will possess the technical capacity to develop experimental hypotheses, design and perform experiments, analyze data sets, and write protocols and reports. Furthermore, they will be expected to present their findings on a project level to external and business stakeholders. Successful candidate will possess good practical knowledge of molecular biology techniques, such as qPCR, capillary electrophoresis, NGS, as well as proven track record of in vitro diagnostics tests development.
