About Counsyl's Genome Center
Over the last few years, we've grown from a dorm room startup to become one of the largest clinical genome centers in the world. Our test is now prescribed by physicians for more than 1% of all births in the United States.
As you might imagine, few if any have done multiplex testing on quite this scale before. Our genome center group scales our clinical laboratory to handle massive sample volume while maintaining diagnostic-grade quality. We are a mix of experienced laboratory staff and research scientists, comprising Clinical Laboratory Scientists (CLS), ABMG-certified Laboratory Directors, and PhD graduates of Stanford, Harvard, and MIT.
About you
You should have a BS, MS, or PhD in Molecular Biology (or equivalent), or significant independent bench experience as demonstrated by publications, competitions like iGEM, or prior employment.

- CLS positions additionally require a current California Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) or Clinical Genetics Molecular Biologist Scientist (CGMBS) license.
- Production Diagnostic: own all aspects of processing clinical samples to produce results for physicians and patients
- Protocol Design: design, validate, and optimize clinical genomic assays for rare Mendelian variants
- Protocol Automation: scale, automate, and tune our protocols with robotics and microfluidics to handle large and growing sample volumes
- Biomedical Curation: use internal tools to turn unstructured biomedical literature into clean data structures suitable for a production diagnostic
- QA/RA: prepare and maintain a host of regulatory documents, using internal apps to automate and streamline the process
- Supply Chain: use operations research to ensure that our reagent and component stocks meet exponentially growing demand
- Manuscript Authoring: conceive, write, and submit academic papers in collaboration with researchers at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Yale
- Basic Molecular Biology: Pipetting and multi-channel pipetting, PCR, qPCR, DNA Extraction, DNA Quantification
- Sequencing: library prep and operation of Illumina GA-IIx, Illumina HiSeq, or Ion PGM
- Biological Databases: NCBI, UCSC, 1000 Genomes, Hapmap, UK10K
- Computers: you should be extremely quantitative and computer-savvy for a molecular biologist or laboratory scientist.
What you'll do
- Run assays in a state-of-the-art clinical genomics laboratory
