Role Description
We are seeking a detail-oriented Research Associate to support our client-facing service operation. This role is focused on delivering high-quality, reproducible tissue sectioning, and processing for 3D spatial transcriptomics assays to meet client specifications, turnaround times, and quality standards. The ideal candidate has strong hands-on histology experience, thrives in a process-driven environment, and is comfortable supporting multiple concurrent client projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Support all service-related spatial transcriptomics workflows (e.g., sectioning, sample preparation, reagent setup, imaging, and data handoff).
- Perform consistent, high-quality tissue sectioning using cryostats and microtomes for fresh frozen and FFPE client samples.
- Process and prepare samples according to validated SOPs for 3D spatial transcriptomics.
- Participate in continuous improvement of lab workflows and operational efficiency including development of SOPs.
- Assist with data packaging for customer readouts, reports, and internal reviews.
- Execute end-to-end service workflows, including sectioning, sample preparation, reagent setup, imaging support, and data/sample handoff according to SOPs and project plans.
- Ensure accurate sample tracking, labeling, and chain-of-custody throughout all service workflows.
- Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot histology equipment to ensure reliable performance and minimal downtime.
- Run experiments independently. Document all work, metadata, and deviations in electronic lab notebooks in accordance with quality standards.
- Collaborate with project managers, scientists, and operations teams to meet client timelines and quality expectations.
- Adhere strictly to laboratory safety, biospecimen handling, and quality management procedures.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in biology, molecular biology, biomedical sciences, histotechnology, or a related field; HT/HTL certification a plus.
- 1–3+ years of hands-on histology or tissue processing experience in research, industry, or clinical labs.
- Demonstrated proficiency in cryosectioning and microtomy of fresh frozen and FFPE tissues.
- Familiarity with spatial transcriptomics platforms a plus.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality tissue sections and sequencing data.
- Ability to follow SOPs, manage multiple tasks, and work both independently and as part of a team.
- Excellent communication, organization, and data documentation skills.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with spatial transcriptomics platforms, immunohistochemistry (IHC), IF staining, or image analysis.
- Experience with RNA-preserving workflows or molecular biology techniques.
- Prior work supporting customer-facing lab services in regulated lab environments (CLIA, CAP, GLP) is beneficial.
- Experience with ELNs, LIMS, or sample tracking systems.
