Oxford Nanopore Technologies is headquartered at the Oxford Science Park outside Oxford, UK, with satellite offices and a commercial presence in many global locations across the US, APAC and Europe. Oxford Nanopore employs from multiple subject areas including nanopore science, molecular biology and applications, informatics, engineering, electronics, manufacturing and commercialisation. The management team, led by CEO Dr Gordon Sanghera, has a track record of delivering disruptive technologies to the market. Oxford Nanopore's sequencing platform is the only technology that offers real-time analysis, in fully scalable formats from pocket to population scale, that can analyse native DNA or RNA and sequence any length of fragment to achieve short to ultra-long read lengths. Our goal is to enable the analysis of any living thing, by anyone, anywhere! We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Scientist to join our Translational Development - Infection Team. This position will be based at our labs in Norwich. The Details The Translational Development - Infection Team are responsible for developing and prototyping diagnostic products and protocols for the infectious diseases market.This role will support the further development required for our end-to-end workflows. This exciting opportunityinvolves creating, developing and evaluating metagenomic and targeted diagnostic workflows compatible with our disruptive sequencing devices, such as the MinION.Reporting to the Associate Director of Translational Development - Infection, the Senior Scientist will drive forward projects by contributing expertise in the laboratory environment as well as ideas and knowledge to support the development and testing of prototype products. Hands-on experience in four or more ofthe following areas is required: Experience in molecular biology including NGS, PCR, qPCR, isothermal amplificationand standard nucleic acid handling techniques. Characterisation of DNA/RNA and proteins. Execution of biochemical/biophysical assays (e.g. enzyme activity assays and fluorescence-based techniques). Experience with assay design, developmentand optimisation. Experience of working within a quality management system e.g. ISO13485. Experience handling BSL organisms and cell culture.
