Molecular Biology Scientist – Stockholm, SwedenLocation: Stockholm, Sweden
We are looking for an exceptional scientist to drive new
research and product development efforts at our Stockholm R&D facility,
with an emphasis on spatial transcriptomics. The ideal candidate will have a
proven track-record of developing creative and novel molecular biology
protocols for solving complex biological problems, as well as a broad
understanding of next generation sequencing and its applications. He/she should
be driven by making great products and enjoy working in a truly
multi-disciplinary environment. This position will part of our Molecular
Biology department and interact closely with colleagues across R&D
departments in both Stockholm and Pleasanton, CA. Job level and title will be
commensurate with experience.
