Overview The Clinical Lab Technologist II position will be responsible for processing medically relevant biological samples through extraction and/or high-throughput next-generation DNA sequencing assays. This role will work within a team of Laboratorians in a fast‑paced, high‑production setting to process research and clinical diagnostic samples to provide test results to patients, oncologists, and other medical practitioners and researchers. As such, high attention to detail and clinical‑mindfulness are crucial to success in this role.
Responsibilities
Perform and provide broad support for DNA extractions, PCR amplification, or high‑throughput sequencing assays on DNA libraries in accordance with standard laboratory processes and procedures.
Operate and maintain laboratory equipment such as liquid handling robotics and DNA sequencers.
Complete tasks as assigned (e.g., routine clinical or research sample processing, validations, reagent QC runs, or special projects) accurately and following strict methodologies.
Provide guidance to less‑experienced staff and to more junior team members.
Perform training and/or competency assessments for Clinical Laboratory Technician/Technologist team members on high‑complexity molecular methods.
Perform protocols in compliance with regulatory agencies and model appropriate clinical, regulatory, and safety practices.
Suggest improvements to existing laboratory procedures and processes to improve efficiency.
Work on assignments requiring considerable clinical judgment and initiative.
Understand the implications of work performance and when to elevate issues upward.
Ensure compliance with laboratory regulatory agencies (GxP, FDA, ISO).
Keep accurate and detailed records for all workflows following Good Documentation Practices.
Demonstrate excellent clinical judgment and integrity by possessing deep knowledge of a range of laboratory procedures and processes.
Explain technical information within the team clearly and effectively.
Demonstrate understanding of underlying scientific principles of analytical methods and provide relevant information to the Supervisor or Lead Technologist to assist with troubleshooting assay or instrument issues, leading to appropriate corrective actions.
Exchange ideas and information effectively with the Supervisor or Lead Technologist.
Handle sensitive information confidentially.
Exhibit clear and effective communication to facilitate effective handoff procedures.
Follow standardized laboratory processes and procedures with little to no instruction on daily work.

Minimum of 3 years of pertinent molecular laboratory experience.
Minimum of 2 years with a Master’s or higher.
Molecular biology skills (e.g., DNA Extraction, Purification, PCR, qPCR, next‑generation DNA sequencing) and related technical knowledge.
Experience working with human specimens (e.g., blood, tissue, cells) and biohazardous material.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to collaborate across teams and disciplines.
Preferred:
ASCP(MB) certification.
Specialized knowledge and skills: Experience in a clinical, high‑throughput environment.
Working knowledge of laboratory terminology, equipment, and supplies.
