About the Role:
Next Level Genomics is hiring a proactive and adaptable Research Assistant, primarily focused on lab-based work in spatial genomics. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in hands-on laboratory settings, has a strong problem-solving mindset, and values clear communication and teamwork.
You’ll be working directly on tissue processing, slide QC, and spatial multi-omics workflow execution using cutting-edge platforms. We would like if candidates could assist flexibly with operations, data tracking, or coordination as and when needed.
At NLG, we take pride in fostering a high-performing yet balanced work culture. We believe scientific excellence and work-life balance can go hand-in-hand—and we’re looking for someone who thrives in that kind of environment.
Top Qualities We’re Looking For:
1. Problem-solving mindset – you think critically, troubleshoot independently, adapt quickly, and keep a steady hand.
2. Strong interpersonal skills – you’re collaborative, communicative, and respectful in a team setting
3. Lab-first focus, flexible mindset – your main responsibilities are lab-based, but you’re open to contributing in other areas as needed
Key Responsibilities:
• Execute spatial genomics lab work: tissue handling, reagent prep, slide QC, and instrument workflows (e.g., GeoMx, CosMx)
• Maintain a well-organized lab space, including inventory and basic equipment upkeep
• Troubleshoot issues and escalate when needed to prevent delays
• Collaborate with internal teams and communicate workflow updates effectively
• Support documentation, tracking, or ad hoc tasks depending on project needs
Qualifications:
• Diploma or above in biotechnology, biomedical sciences, or molecular biology
• Hands-on experience in histology (e.g., tissue sectioning, staining) is a strong advantage
• Background in NGS and Molecular biology techniques is helpful
• Demonstrated ability to solve problems independently
• Strong communication and team collaboration skills
• Organized, dependable, and comfortable balancing multiple priorities
Bonus Skills (Not Required):
• Familiarity with spatial or molecular profiling platforms
• Experience in data handling, documentation, or project coordination
• Interest in scientific communication or lab operations
