Research Associate / Associate Scientist – Single Cell and Spatial Biology

Job Description

About SingulOmics SingulOmics is a growing biotechnology company specializing in single-cell, multiomic, and spatial biology services. Founded in New York in 2016 and located on the Albert Einstein College of Medicine campus in the Bronx, we serve academic and industry clients worldwide. Our services support biological discovery, target identification, biomarker development, and precision medicine. We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented individual to perform advanced single-cell and spatial biology workflows and manage laboratory operations. The position may be offered at the Research Associate or Associate Scientist level, depending on experience. This is primarily a hands-on laboratory position, comprising approximately 80% experimental work and 20% laboratory operations.

The successful candidate will process client samples, perform molecular and spatial biology assays, evaluate experimental quality, troubleshoot technical issues, and help ensure that projects are completed accurately and on schedule.

Candidates with extensive molecular-biology and NGS library-preparation experience who demonstrate the ability to master complex workflows will also be considered. Training will be provided on additional SingulOmics workflows.

Work with state-of-the-art single-cell, multiomic, and spatial biology technologies.
Contribute to high-impact research for leading scientists in academia, biotech, and pharma.
Receive hands-on training and opportunities to expand your technical expertise.
Make a visible impact in a dynamic, growing biotechnology company.

Independently perform single-cell, multiomic, and spatial biology workflows according to established protocols, SOPs, and quality standards.
Perform sample preparation, tissue dissociation, cell or nuclei isolation, nucleic-acid extraction, quality control, PCR, and NGS library preparation.
Evaluate experimental and sample quality-control results and identify potential technical or sample-quality concerns.
Maintain complete and accurate experimental records, sample-tracking information, and project documentation.
Help test, optimize, validate, and implement new single-cell and spatial biology protocols.
Coordinate experimental activities with scientists and other team members to ensure timely project completion.
Manage laboratory operations, including ordering reagents and consumables, monitoring inventory, coordinating equipment maintenance and service, and maintaining laboratory organization.
Follow all applicable laboratory safety, quality, and documentation requirements.

Bachelor’s degree in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, genomics, biotechnology, or a related field, with at least three years of relevant laboratory experience; a master’s degree with at least one year of relevant laboratory experience; or a PhD in a related field. This is a predominantly hands-on laboratory role focused on single-cell and spatial biology workflows, rather than a primarily independent research or computational position.
Strong hands-on molecular-biology experience, including nucleic-acid extraction, PCR, quality control, and NGS library preparation.
Experience evaluating quality-control results and troubleshooting laboratory procedures.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to sample integrity and data quality.
Ability to organize and prioritize multiple projects in a fast-paced laboratory environment.
Experience with multiple 10x Genomics platforms, including Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression, Immune Profiling, ATAC, Multiome, Visium, or Xenium.
Histology experience, particularly cryosectioning or sectioning FFPE tissue.
Experience with single-cell or spatial sample and library quality control.
Experience working in a genomics core facility, biotechnology service laboratory, contract research organization, or other customer-focused laboratory.
Experience managing reagent inventory, purchasing laboratory supplies, and coordinating equipment maintenance.
