## About the role

We are seeking a curious, hands-on scientist for an Assay Research Scientist position. Reporting to the Director of Assay Development, you will establish novel assay workflows, define the requirements for new components such as beads, surface chemistries, and sample prep approaches, and develop proxy assays that predict multi-cycle ProSE performance. You will work at the interface of molecular biology, chemistry, bioinformatics, and automation, partnering closely with the Chemistry and Integration teams. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- BS/MS/PhD with 8+/6+/4+ years (for Senior Scientist)
- Track record of establishing novel assay workflows for highly sensitive molecular assays (e.g., PCR-free sequencing, single-cell assays), with clear evidence of ownership and innovation
- Demonstrated ability to design simple, mechanistically defined test systems that stand in for full-length experiments and let you pinpoint which variable is responsible when performance changes
- Comprehensive understanding of molecular biology tools used for high-sensitivity applications
- Strong foundation in nucleic acid and peptide chemistry, including the ability to identify common sources of damage (such as oxidation, depurination, and hydrolysis) and methods to avoid or mitigate these effects
