    Description
    About Karius

    Karius is a venture-backed life science startup that is transforming the way pathogens and other microbes are observed throughout the body.

    By unlocking the information present in microbial cell-free DNA, we're helping doctors quickly solve their most challenging cases, providing industry partners with access to the microbial landscape to accelerate biomarker discovery and clinical trials, discover novel microbes, to ultimately reduce patient suffering worldwide.

    Position Summary

    As a Research Associate you will work alongside scientific leaders in NGS-based infectious disease diagnostics providing meaningful contributions to making an impact in the lives of patients while contributing to the companys growth and development.

    You will have the opportunity to maintain process excellence for a state-of-the art NGS infectious disease diagnostic assay by assisting in an established in-house manufacturing process.

    You will also be involved with several exciting research projects and be at the forefront of non-invasive diagnostics working alongside our scientists to deliver new products.

    The ideal candidate should have some limited experience with nucleic acids, NGS, or other molecular biology assays to conduct laboratory experiments on research projects under the direction of senior lab personnel.

    Why Should You Join Us?
    Karius aims to conquer infectious diseases through innovations around genomic sequencing and machine learning.

    The companys platform is already delivering unprecedented insights into the microbial landscape, providing clinicians with a comprehensive test capable of identifying more than a thousand pathogens directly from blood, and helping the industry accelerate the development of therapeutic solutions.

    The Karius test we provide today is one of the most advanced solutions available to physicians who aim to deliver better care to many otherwise ineffectively treated patients.

    Our test is the result of some incredible work done by our scientists, statisticians, engineers, and physicians, all driven by the same mission.

    You, as part of the Karius team, will be able to see how directly your work has a life-changing impact on people, and at scale.
