Key skills for this role
We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join our Sequencing Development Team as a Development Scientist. This exciting and challenging role assists in the development of current and future sequencing products, focusing on using sequencing techniques to drive the integration and development of hardware, software, firmware, and flow cell chemistry.
You will be responsible for improving the performance and reliability of core sequencing devices, kits, and flow cells by feeding back issues and improvements to various stakeholders. This role is balanced with an even split between office-based analysis and laboratory-based tasks.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies aims to bring the widest benefits to society by enabling the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere. We have developed a new generation of nanopore-based sensing technology for faster, information-rich, accessible, and affordable molecular analysis.
Our first application is DNA/RNA sequencing, and we are developing technology for the analysis of other molecules, including proteins. Our tools help characterize the biology of humans, diseases (like cancer), plants, animals, bacteria, viruses, and whole environments. We are a UK-headquartered company with a thriving culture of ambition and strong innovation goals, operating globally with customers in more than 125 countries.
