Job Summary
This role is a crucial parental leave replacement within the Single-Cell Omics unit, focusing on cutting-edge multiomic single-cell sequencing and immunoassays to advance novel immunotherapies against cancer and other diseases. The successful candidate will manage primary samples, including patient biopsies and murine tissues, performing tissue dissociation and routine cell culture maintenance (2D and 3D systems). Key daily tasks involve preparing single-cell suspensions for NGS platforms (10x Genomics, Illumina), executing flow cytometry and cell sorting, and generating cDNA and ATAC libraries. The position requires a background as a BTA/MTA or a degree in natural sciences, coupled with essential experience in molecular biology, NGS library preparation, and mammalian cell culture.
