The PositionRoche Diagnostics acquired Stratos Genomics () in 2020 for its novel Sequencing by eXpansion (SBX) technology. SBX uses unique applications from chemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry, and protein engineering to sequence DNA by nanopore in rapid time with high accuracy and at a low cost. The successful candidate will join the SBX Detection Sequencing department to further develop our sequencing technology through research and development efforts while guiding a team of direct reports.The Sequencing team is devoted to developing our high throughput, low-cost DNA sequencing approach into an industry disrupting product that will facilitate the care that patients need. We are looking for a motivated scientist with management background to grow and lead a team of researchers striving towards elevating performance of our complex sequencing system. This position will require taking a whole system approach that addresses the interconnected dynamics of nanopore structure, Xpandomer design, sequencing conditions, fluidics, redox reactions, and surface chemistries. Please include a cover letter outlining why you want to work with us, your specific interest in our technology, and how you would contribute to our success.Responsibilities:After mastering execution of our current work processes and established SOPs, continue to advance research and development efforts on our multifaceted nanopore-based sequencing platform.Use technical and theoretical understanding to propose detailed plans for executing high quality and complex laboratory experiments while keeping processes well organized and documented.Communicate actively, effectively, and promptly with supervisor on project status, significant findings, data analysis summaries, critical problem areas, and pathways forward.Manage, mentor, and train direct reports to comply with expectations while fostering an environment that develops new and existing skills to support departmental goals.Support management decisions and goals in a positive, professional manner. Embrace priorities and responsibilities set forth by management.Collaboratively work with manager and colleagues to explore alternative approaches to solve problems and find solutions. Make data-driven recommendations to solve problems with feasible solutions.Analyze and interpret experimental data using various data analysis software (e.g., Excel, Python) and/or applying quantitative methods. Summarize experimental results with a keen observational eye to anomalies, deviations, and new paths of inquiry. Prepare pithy data reviews, conclusions, and actionary plans for manager.Use technical writing/presentation skills to produce comprehensive & concise reports/documents in a timely manner. When needed, effectively present findings to team members and senior management.Maintain databases to track performance, project progress, and experimental findings.Require minimal guidance to manage tasks and work time responsibly. Take personal accountability to deliver on assigned tasks promptly. Independently manage own work flow.Maintain electronic lab notebook documentation. Ensure that all experimental methods and results are recorded timely, accurately, consistently, and according to established formats.Participate in routine lab maintenance, lab safety, ISO, and QSR implementation.Maintain performance of and troubleshoot issues encountered while working on various instruments.Maintain clean and organized personal and communal lab spaces.Perform work according to established internal safety guidelines and procedures, and as specified by appropriate external regulatory agencies (e.g., OSHA). Make recommendations and act as appropriate to keep the lab a safe environment for all team members, including regular housekeeping tasks.Adhere to Roche Diagnostics Seattle policies and co
