The role
We are looking for a laboratory technician for the field of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).

The Lab technician will work together with the Advanced Genomics Technologies team within the Genomics Unit to implement and develop new protocols and technologies strategically interesting for the CRG research community.

Specific job duties will include NGS sample and library preparation, quality control, protocol implementation & troubleshooting, as well as diligent reporting.

Extensive hands-on experience in NGS sample preparation and thorough knowledge of all steps involved in NGS data generation are therefore essential for the role.

Additionally, any experience in the field of laboratory automation will be considered a plus.

About the lab**The Genomics Unit is equipped with a wide range of short-read sequencing instruments from Illumina (1 Novaseq6000, 1 Nextseq2000, 1 Nextseq500, 1 MiSeq, and 1 iSeq100), and also it has a long-read sequencing instrument from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (1 MinION). Furthermore, the unit is equipped with all the instrumentation necessary for DNA and RNA quality control as well as NGS library preparation, including 2 TECAN robots for automation of protocols.

The Genomics Unit is embedded in the CRG Core Technologies Programme that includes the technology units of proteomics, bioinformatics, protein technologies, tissue engineering, flow cytometry and advanced light microscopy.

The programme is directed by Mònica Morales and all units collaborate strongly in the setup and implementation of transversal workflows and technologies across units.
