Associate Scientist

The Associate Scientist will serve as the platform lead for Xenium spatial transcriptomics projects at Single Cell Biology Lab (SCBL) within The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality, robust data. The SCBL is a core facility supporting the scientific research community with cutting-edge single-cell technologies, including dissociative single-cell omics, spatial omics, and high-content screening. This role is central to the lab's spatial genomics capabilities, requiring deep expertise in the Xenium workflow, exceptional project coordination, and strong communication with scientific stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will be the technical expert for all Xenium operations from sample handling and experimental execution to data quality control and workflow optimization. You will leverage your strong background in molecular biology, tissue handling, and single-cell technologies to enhance and expand the capabilities of the Single Cell Biology Lab.
