    + **Documentation & Reporting:** Maintain accurate records and prepare technical reports, summaries, and presentations.

    Qualifications

    + **Education:** Master’s or Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, Genomics, or related field.

    + **Experience:** 3–5 years in academia or industry, with expertise in transcriptomics and spatial biology.

    Required Expertise:

    + scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq

    + Bulk RNA-seq

    + Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

    Preferred Expertise:

    + Spatial transcriptomics (10x Genomics Visium/Xenium, NanoString GeoMx)

    + Spatial proteomics (Akoya CODEX/Phenocycler-Fusion)

    + Tissue handling, imaging, histology

    + Familiarity with bioinformatics tools/pipelines

    Additional Skills:
