Job Description

Oxford Nanopore Technologies: Our goal is to bring the widest benefits to society through enabling the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere.

The company has developed a new generation of nanopore-based sensing technology for faster, information rich, accessible and affordable molecular analysis.

The first application is DNA/RNA sequencing, and the technology is in development for the analysis of other types of molecules including proteins.

The technology is used to understand and characterise the biology of humans and diseases such as cancer, plants, animals, bacteria, viruses, and whole environments.

With a thriving culture of ambition and strong innovation goals, Oxford Nanopore is a UK headquartered company with global operations and customers in more than 125 countries.

We are looking for someone to join our Product Validation team in a role that involves running sequencing experiments across the range of Oxford Nanopore platforms to assess new developments and set expectations on the performance of our platforms.

The Details...

This role involves working in the Product Validation team. You will run and analyse sequencing experiments across the whole range of Oxford Nanopore sequencing platforms.

The purpose of the work within this team is to assess several key components. These are required for successful sequencing runs, ensuring that they are fit for purpose before releasing them to customers.

This role will also involve the running and analysis of sequencing experiments across all devices to establish a baseline dataset of performance. This helps to trend the performance of our sequencing platforms as new developments are released to customers. This is a collaborative role working with other teams to test updates and new developments.
