Scientist/Senior Scientist - Cell Biology

10x Genomics is looking for an outstanding scientist to drive development of new single-cell sample preparation and analysis methods. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of developing advanced methods or systems for propagation, perturbation and high-resolution analysis of mammalian cells and tissues. He/she should be driven by making great products and enjoy working in a truly multi-disciplinary environment. This position will interact closely with colleagues in computational biology, software, applications, chemistry, microfluidics and engineering.

Individuals applying for this position must be self-starters, strategic thinkers, action driven, flexible in changing direction and methods, thrive in a fast paced environment, excel at managing multiple priorities, succeed in communicating with all levels within the organization and provide immediate contribution.

Key Responsibilities:
  • As a strong technical contributor, you will drive projects for preparation and characterization of high-quality single cell and nuclei suspensions from a variety of tissue types
  • You will develop quantitative assays for cell quality, using microscope, plate reader, FACS, etc.
  • You do not need significant next generation sequencing (NGS) experience, but you are responsible for quickly learning and mastering our NGS product workflows, and becoming conversant in NGS data analysis
  • You will work on cross-disciplinary teams - You will collaborate and assist in identifying signs of poor cell quality in single-cell genomic datasets, and you will be responsible for developing and validating optimized sample preparation protocols that yield fundamental improvements in data quality
  • You will plan and perform systematic protocol optimization by modeling, identification of critical steps and use of formal design of experiment (DOE) approaches
  • You will follow good laboratory practices, including maintenance of accurate laboratory notebooks

Required Skills and Background:
  • PhD in cell biology, molecular biology or a similar field plus minimum >3 years postdoctoral or industry experience
  • Proven ability to develop advanced methods or systems for cell or tissue analysis, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications or published patents
  • Strong written and oral communication skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced and quickly changing environment
  • Exceptional technical depth in one of more cell biology disciplines including flow cytometry, cell sorting, microscopy, CRISPR editing, mouse disease models, histology, cell-based assays

Desired Skills and Background:
  • Experience developing high-throughput cell culture systems and/or cell-based assays
  • Molecular biology including qPCR and/or NGS library prep
  • Experience in high-content screening, single-cell genomics, functional genomics or immunology

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or on the basis of disability.
