ABOUT SINGULAR GENOMICS Singular Genomics is inventing at the forefront of genomics, one of the world’s fastest-growing industries. The commercially available G4® Sequencing Platform is a powerful, highly versatile benchtop genomic sequencer designed to produce fast and accurate results. In addition, the company is currently developing the G4X™ Spatial Sequencer, an upgrade to the G4, which will leverage Singular’s proprietary sequencing technology, applying it as an in situ readout for transcriptomics, proteomics and fluorescent H&E in tissue, with spatial context. Singular Genomics’ mission is to empower researchers and clinicians to advance science and medicine. We foster a culture of creativity and technical excellence, both catalysts for innovation. We celebrate diversity, emphasize collaboration and, as we rapidly mature, we are constantly looking at ways we can do better for our people. Our Headquarters are located on the Torrey Pines Mesa, in La Jolla, California at the center of the biotech hub. Our Manufacturing facility is in Sorrento Valley.   ABOUT SINGULAR GENOMICS Singular Genomics is inventing at the forefront of genomics, one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.

Position Summary: As a  Research Associate  on the Histology team, you will?be the foundation of?platform?development by maintaining and sectioning FFPE tissue blocks;?support?development of our proprietary tissue mounting system; use your background knowledge in histology and molecular diagnostics?to identify?controls, workflows, and?enhancements to improve?assay robustness and reliability;?aid in expanding our assays?to new tissue types, and provide guidance and expert advice?to assay developers for interpreting results and expectations, and?be the voice of histology when working with customers and collaborators. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in FFPE tissue sectioning and assessment using?traditional?histochemical staining such as H&E, familiarity in?molecular?assays?on preserved tissue?(e.g., IHC,?IF,?ISH/FISH) using a variety of microscopy readouts (brightfield, fluorescence etc.), and be comfortable following established complex assay workflows. You will be working with a multidisciplinary team of scientists in the fields of surface chemistry, engineering, biochemistry,and bioinformatics.This role is ideally suited to a candidate who is self-motivated and excited by a startup environment where opportunity to rise to frequent and diverse challenges is commonly encountered. Responsibilities : Operate a microtome to produce consistent, high-quality FFPE tissue sections?. Support development teams by providing expert advice and guidance on tissue handling, experimental design, expectations, and interpretation of results. QC FFPE tissues prior to?using?in assay development.??  Actively contribute to optimizing in situ workflows. Establish standards for onboarding and assessing performance of standard and new tissue
