Research Support Associate | Genomics Resource Center
About The Position
The Genomics Resource Center (GRC) is seeking a Research Support Associate to join our team and contribute to a wide range of innovative genomics-based research projects across Rockefeller University. The GRC is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art technology, comprehensive services, technical support, and scientific consulting in the fast-evolving field of genomics. The center houses an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencer, two Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencers, one Illumina MiSeq sequencer, a 10X Genomics Chromium Single Cell System, and a Life Technologies QuantStudio 12K flex realtime PCR system. The center also provides several accessory instruments for sample quantity and quality validation: Agilent Bioanalyzer, Agilent TapeStation, NanoDrop spectrophotometer, and Qubit fluorometer. For the next-generation sequencing service, the center offers full services for genomic DNA-Seq and RNA-Seq, specializing in preparation of libraries from a very small amount of starting total RNA. Users can also prepare their own libraries and use the center’s sequencing-only services. The center offers free consultations on experimental designs, library preparation options, sequencer choice, sequencing depth and coverage, and biological replicates. The center works closely with the Rockefeller Bioinformatics Resource Center for data analysis.
