Research Associate (m/f/x)

The DRESDEN-concept Genome Center at the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering (CMCB) offers a position as
Research Associate (m/f/x)
(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)
starting as soon as possible. The position is initially limited until December 31, 2027. However, there is a strong intention to pursue continued employment pending available funding. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position aims at obtaining further academic qualification through implementation and development of novel NGS sequencing applications.
The DRESDEN-concept Genome Center (DcGC) is one of four selected DFG NGS Competence Centers in Germany (https://ngs-kn.de). Its primary technological focus is on implementing innovative methods for single-cell and spatial sequencing, as well as bulk short and long-read sequencing applications. With its broad technological portfolio, the DcGC provides the opportunity to gain comprehensive experience in a wide range of advanced NGS methods. As a shared campus infrastructure in Dresden, the DcGC offers outstanding technological resources and strong expertise in single-cell and spatial applications, de novo genome sequencing, and diverse short-read–based sequencing methods

Working field:

The successful candidate will be responsible for scientific research and teaching tasks, as well as for the development and implementation novel multimodal spatial and single-cell sequencing workflows at the DcGC. Working in close collaboration with the laboratory team, the candidate will perform and oversee experimental procedures to establish innovative methods in single-cell and spatial sequencing of tissue sections from various organs and species. In addition, the candidate will coordinate and support daily laboratory operations – including sample and library preparation as well as instrument handling - to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality services to DcGC cooperation partners. Further responsibilities include planning, performing, and analysing experimental work, alongside independently identifying and resolving technical issues. The role also involves thorough documentation of all experiments and results, as well as the creation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Requirements:

— a university and,if applicable, a PhD degree in life sciences (e.g. biochemistry, biotechnology, biology or related field)
— We are seeking an independent, organized, and creative professional capable of managing a complex and dynamic workload.
— Substantial experience and understanding of experimental work including planning, execution, analysis and troubleshooting of experiments, especially in the fields of issue sectioning, immunostaining and histochemistry is highly appreciated.
— Experience with NGS technologies and advanced knowledge of molecular biology techniques and strong skills in experiment documentation and the preparation of Standard operation principles (SOPs) are essential.
— We further value experience in microscopy, cell handling and FAC-sorting procedures.
— As the involvement and design of novel projects is part of the role, grant writing experience is appreciated.
— The job requires a strong ability to work in a team, excellent communication skills and a professional demeanour when dealing with internal and external partners.
— Fluency in written and spoken English (and to minor degree German) and the ability to work creatively and independently are highly desired.
