Research Associate I, Digital Biotechnologies
About The Position
At Adaptive, we’re Powering the Age of Immune Medicine. Our goal is to harness the power of the adaptive immune system to transform the way diseases are diagnosed and treated. As an Adapter, you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. With Adaptive, you’ll create a career highlight through collaboration with bright, curious colleagues working at the apex of innovation and application. It’s time for your next chapter. Discover your story with Adaptive. Position Overview Adaptive is seeking an exceptional Research Associate I to join a new subsidiary spinout, Digital Biotechnologies Inc. The Scientist will play a critical role in helping to develop a “Next” Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) instrument specifically designed for clinical medicine. Present methods for high-throughput sequencing are not suitable for many clinical applications, as all current NGS platforms lack the combination of high accuracy, rapid turnaround time, and low cost that would lead to robust clinical utility. In collaboration with academic and industry scientists across the country, Digital Biotechnologies is engineering the first solid-state sequencer with the specifications necessary for a widely applicable clinical sequencing instrument. In this role, the Research Associate I, performs assigned experiments or other related work under close supervision, which leverage Digital’s novel intellectual property to realize the company’s strategic objectives in fundamental science, health care and business development.
