Role summary

The Associate Scientist I, Technology Access Program (TAP) is a laboratory-based role focused on executing client-sponsored research projects. Responsibilities include assay setup and execution, sample preparation, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows, operating laboratory instrumentation, and reviewing data quality. The ideal candidate possesses strong hands-on laboratory skills, attention to detail, and the ability to follow established experimental procedures in a fast-paced, collaborative setting. Experience with molecular biology, multiplex assays, and NGS is highly desirable. This role ensures high-quality data generation and timely project completion.

At Alamar, we are passionate about enabling our customers to make scientific discoveries that translate into clinical outcomes and benefit patients. Our team is growing quickly as we develop innovative approaches to measure critical protein biomarkers from liquid samples that can enable the earliest possible detection of disease. We believe the next frontier in biology is enabled by measuring proteins at higher sensitivity in highly multiplexed assays at the push of a button, which is something only Alamar can do. As we build our team, we seek collaborative, driven, intellectually curious people committed to solving complex challenges. Our culture rewards accountability and cross functional teamwork because we believe this enables the kind of breakthrough thinking that will accelerate our mission.
