relationrx - Senior/Research Assistant, Genomics

• Run single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq workflows end-to-end from cell input through to sequencing-ready libraries. • Process single-cell sequencing libraries through the full preparation to a consistent, QC-passing standard. • Partner closely with automation engineers to port manual single-cell and library prep workflows onto automated systems. • Maintain chain-of-custody for genomics samples, plate maps and metadata capture in our LIMS/ELN so every library is unambiguously traceable. • Interface with the computational and ML teams on library design, demultiplexing logic, expected outputs, and metadata schema. • Author and maintain SOPs and experimental records in our LIMS/ELN system. • Monitor day-to-day lab activities, maintain reagent stock levels, ensure equipment is properly maintained, and adhere strictly to good lab practice standards. • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant Life Sciences discipline with 2+ years of additional experience in Industry or an Academic Genomics Core Facility. • Hands-on expertise with single-cell genomics library generation on droplet microfluidics and/or combinatorial-indexing methods, experience with scATAC-seq or other epigenomic methods is a plus. • Familiarity with NGS operations and library QC, Illumina sequencing essential; experience with Ultima or other platforms a plus. • Strong cross-functional coordination skills, with a track record of working effectively alongside computational/ML colleagues. • A good understanding of the QC, batch-effect, and experimental-design considerations that determine whether large-scale data are usable downstream. • Knowledge of LIMS/ELN systems (e.g. Benchling) and disciplined metadata and sample-tracking practice. • Experience with lab automation and/ or evidence of collaboration experience with automation engineers is desirable but not required. • Personally, you: • Are comfortable working in a matrixed environment, balancing multiple stakeholders and contributing effectively across teams. • Take ownership of your work, proactively seek opportunities to contribute, and enable others to do their best work. • Communicate openly and directly, give and receive feedback constructively, and handle challenging conversations with respect. • Actively seek out diverse perspectives, build strong working relationships, and contribute to shared goals across teams. • Embrace challenges with openness and resilience, set high standards for yourself, and strive to deliver meaningful outcomes. • Working Style & Culture at Relation • At Relation, we operate in a matrixed, interdisciplinary environment, where impact is driven through collaboration across scientific, technical, and operational domains.
