The Center for Translational Genomics (CTG) seeks a assistant researcher who will be responsible for the establishment of  a single cell genomics platform as a part of its core facility services.

Work duties
You will be responsible for developing and optimizing methods, conducting experiments, and providing services within the framework of CTG's single cell sequencing activities. You are expected to actively drive this field forward by acquiring and applying new knowledge and technologies, respectively, as well as further improving existing methods of single-cell sequencing.

In this role, you will work closely together with  researchers at the Faculty of Medicine and with other specialists at CTG and provide expert knowledge and services in single cell genomics to researchers at Lund University and Region Skåne.

Qualifications
We are looking for someone with a PhD in either molecular biology, biomedicine, biotechnology or equivalent. We would like you to have postdoctoral experience  in a relevant field, where development of single cell sequencing methods is highly valued.
