Molecular Geneticist

Role: Molecular Geneticist responsible for developing and applying genetic and molecular biology techniques to identify targetable alterations in tumors, and assess inherited conditions like cancer predisposition syndromes. The position involves interpreting genomic profiles from solid tumors, liquid biopsies, and bone marrow specimens, primarily via NGS, in an oncology-focused clinical laboratory. Responsibilities: develop and validate assays, analyze genomic data, write clinical reports, advise clinicians on investigation strategies, oversee CLIA/CAP validation, train staff, and maintain quality standards. Requires a PhD in Genetics or related field, with ABMG certification or active candidate status in Clinical Molecular Genetics. Preferred qualifications include NY State CoQ in molecular oncology, laboratory management experience, and strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills. High-value specifics: oncology (solid tumors, myeloid neoplasms), genomics (NGS-based), clinical testing, assay validation, and working within CLIA/CAP standards. The role involves close collaboration with pathology and oncology teams, with some travel and occasional after-hours work. The position is based in Phoenix, Arizona, with responsibilities spanning assay development, interpretation of routine and specialized molecular tests, and continuous professional development.
