Experience Level: Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent lab experience
The Role: NGS Lab Technician
We’re hiring an NGS Lab Technician to join our NGS team. This is a junior, hands-on role for someone who wants to be in the lab every day, doing high-quality, repetitive work that’s critical to our sequencing pipeline. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in precision, consistency, and being the one who gets it done right every time.
If you’re the kind of person who shows up ready to put in the hours, who thrives on doing things the right way, and who doesn’t cut corners, we want to talk to you.
Must Have Skills
We’re looking for someone exceptional at what they do, highly dependable, detail-focused, and energized by supporting our NGS workflows. Motivated by being part of a larger mission and taking real pride in supporting the daily work of scientists. Flexibility is key. You’re the kind of person who can adjust to shifting needs and put in extra hours when needed to grind through backlogs.
Our mission
Conception is a startup with the mission of generating viable human eggs from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Successful development of our research could have many benefits, such as removing age limits on motherhood, allowing for easy screening of eggs with harmful genetic mutations, and allowing same-sex couples to reproduce.
Come and work with us
We are well-funded and connected in Silicon Valley, offering competitive pay, equity, excellent healthcare benefits, and a collaborative research environment focused on meaningful results.
If you are passionate, hardworking, and aligned with our mission, we want to hear from you.
