Will be actively participating as a member of product development teams to develop molecular diagnostic testing for infectious diseases

Will conduct experiments in molecular biology laboratories (including a BSL2 lab) routinely

Will apply technical knowledge to develop kits/reagents/instruments for nucleic acid purification from various sample types, including blood, urine, tissue, tissues containing microorganisms

Perform sample extraction on automated instruments and downstream testing using molecular biology technology based assays

Develop a hypothesis and then design the necessary set of experiments to test the hypothesis with limited guidance

Maintain accurate and detailed lab notebooks and appropriate documentation based on the scientific method enabling other scientists to reproduce their experiments

Analyze the data derived and explain the outcome of their experiments

Prepare regular reports documenting experiments and present research data to a broader team
