Job Summary

The Aparicio lab is developing new single-cell genome and transcriptome methods for tracking clonal trajectories at the single-cell level in patient tissues and to gain a better understanding of the tumour microenvironment. Our researchers use the latest single-cell genomics technologies to rapidly identify genes that are involved in the development of cancer. This position will be working on the Single-Cell Genomics Platform on research projects currently ongoing in the lab. We are seeking a highly motivated, detailed, organized, and driven individual with an interest or experience in molecular biology, single-cell genomics, liquid handling robotics, and/or next-generation sequencing.

This entry-level position will provide candidates with an opportunity to work and learn within an academic research environment where continual training and learning are greatly encouraged. The core focus of this position will be providing technical assistance/support on molecular biology, tissue culture, next-generation library preparation and the operations of highly sensitive liquid handling robotics to support current internal/external researchers using the single-cell genomics platform. Hands-on training will be provided to the successful candidate.

This position will provide the candidate with a high level of exposure to single-cell genomics and translational research, as well as, providing opportunities to work collaboratively with industry partners and other researchers globally; the position start date is flexible.
