Clinical Laboratory Scientist

The clinical laboratory scientist position will support Notable’s growing CLIA/CAP laboratory team by playing an essential role in the development of flow cytometry-based laboratory developed tests (LDTs) for the prediction of treatment outcome for therapeutics including Notable’s in-licensed volasertib.

This is a full-time, salaried position.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Licensed in the state of California (California CLS license)
  • Bachelor’s degree
  • 3+ years of experience in high complexity testing
  • Solid knowledge in—and experience with—multi-color flow cytometry using
    human blood or bone marrow specimens.
  • Hands-on experience with common laboratory techniques such as red blood
    cell lysis, mononuclear cell extractions using Ficoll, FISH, and DNA and RNA
    extraction from blood.
  • Willingness to continuously learn and develop new methods not restricted to
    flow cytometry.
  • Highly organized with attention to detail and strong communication skills.
  • Self-motivated.
  • Familiarity with the principles of Design Control (21 CFR Part 820.30) is a
    plus.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with the Research, Product Development (PD), and engineering
    teams to translate research assays into LDTs.
  • Maintain CLIA/CAP certification by continuously qualifying materials,
    certifying equipment, and maintaining QC documentation to prove
    conductance of these maintenance tasks.
  • Maintain inventory and prepare materials (solutions, reagents, master mixes,
    etc.) as required for testing.
  • Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot complex multi-color flow cytometry
    equipment.
  • Help develop and follow all laboratory procedures to ensure proper specimen
    handling, processing, analyzing, and complete testing records in accordance
    with CLIA and CAP regulations.
  • Handle peripheral blood and bone marrow specimens from sample acquisition
    to data report, including sample processing, data acquisition, and data
    interpretation.
  • Initiate and conduct corrective action in case of specimen issues.
