Profiling Lab Operations Associate

at  nomic

ABOUT US:

Nomic was founded with the purpose of making biology easier to measure. To do this, we have untangled some of the most difficult problems in protein profiling. Our team is combining DNA nanotechnology, high-dimensional flow cytometry, laboratory automation, and machine learning to develop the world’s highest throughput proteomic platform: the nELISA.
Since spinning out of McGill University, we have partnered with and provided platform access to dozens of drug discovery groups including GSK, 4 of the top 10 pharmas, and leading biotechs. We have recently launched a state of the art manufacturing and protein profiling facility that enables multiplexed measurement of >2.5M samples a year, generating an effective 500M protein assays in the process.
We are building a diverse team of engineers, scientists, and world-changers. We like to break down difficult problems using a first principles approach, often leveraging the latest breakthroughs from across the scientific and technological spectrum to drive our mission forward.
Nomic is headquartered in Montreal, Canada with a satellite research lab in Boston, Massachusetts. The majority of our team is based in Montreal and works in a new, shared office/laboratory space with an in-person, but flexible work-from-home, policy.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Profiling Lab Operations Associate at Nomic, you will be performing large-scale assays that measure complex, blood-based proteins and analytes. You will design and execute large-scale proteomic campaigns for our customers, as well as for our internal R&D team. You’ll be an integral part of our efforts to “scale n” by on-boarding protein targets on our platform that serve as fit-for-purpose proteomic assays. The role will involve substantial bench work, teamwork and attention to detail when identifying and troubleshooting for errors. Together with our team of associates and engineers, you will be expected to plan, execute assays and play a role in continuously improving our processes.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

• Assist us in scaling up our next-generation proteomics laboratory by being a great addition to the Profiling Operations team.
• Plan and perform large-scale assays on customer samples.
• Manufacture critical reagents that are used in our assays.
• Test and incorporate our newest assay iterations and automation workflows.
• Assist our associates and engineers in automating our assays.
• Lead and manage equipment maintenance and reagent organization efforts to maintain efficient laboratory workflows and inventory accuracy.
• Interface with our Laboratory Inventory Management System (LIMS) and QC/QA of samples, reagents, and assays.
