Ampcus Inc. is a certified global provider of a broad range of Technology and Business consulting services. We are in search of a highly motivated candidate to join our talented Team. Job Title: Clinical Genomic Scientist Location(s): Los Angeles, CA (Remote: laptop will be provided) Job Description We are looking for a candidate with expertise in genetic data analysis, specifically in hematological malignancies. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. or M.S. in a related field, such as human genetics, molecular biology, cancer cell biology, or medical pharmacology. Candidates should have hands-on experience with somatic variant classification, particularly in the context of hematologic cancers, and be familiar with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. The role requires strong communication skills, as the individual will be drafting clinical reports and interacting with multidisciplinary teams. We are targeting candidates with titles such as Clinical Molecular Geneticist, Bioinformatician, Cancer Genomics Scientist, or Molecular Pathologist, with experience in clinical diagnostic labs or genomics research. Please focus on candidates who can demonstrate a deep understanding of genetic variant interpretation, proficiency in bioinformatics tools, and the ability to troubleshoot data analysis challenges independently. Required Experience: A Ph.D. or M.S. degree is required in human genetics, molecular biology, neurogenetics, genetic counseling, cancer cell biology, molecular pathology, medical pharmacology, or other related fields. Experience in hematological malignancy somatic variant classification is required. Though laboratory techniques are not physically performed, the incumbent must understand the techniques of laboratory genetics and genomics (e.g. target capture/amplification and massively parallel sequencing). Excellent communication and writing skills are required. Must exhibit scientific creativity and routinely demonstrate independent thought. Basic technical competency and independency in evaluating and troubleshooting is required when using Windows, MS Office, Teams, Zoom, VPN, etc. Job Summary The Molecular Diagnostics Laboratories (MDL) at the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is seeking a clinical genomics variant scientist in clinical diagnostics lab setting. The incumbent will be a key member of a team of clinical laboratory scientists, molecular biologists, medical geneticists, molecular pathologists, and bioinformatics engineers working together to analyze and report clinical molecular test results based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays. The successful applicant will operate in two major areas: (1) Variant curation and interpretation of somatic variants detected by in-house Hematologic Malignancy NGS tests. (2) Clinical report drafting.
