The Clinical Genomic Scientist will play key roles in clinical operations and clinical product development at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine. The role will support production by performing essential data analysis, variant interpretation and reporting functions. The Clinical Genomic Scientist is also responsible for significant contributions and timely completion of product development milestones established by the CLD and management. Both development and production will require the Clinical Genomic Scientist to have deep working knowledge across biotechnology, genetic pathology, computational sciences and clinical laboratory operations.Key Responsibilities & Essential Functions: This role is responsible for the efficient and quality execution of writing interpretative variant-, gene-, clinical- and patient-level language for genetic test reports. This includes analysis and critical evaluation of clinical sequencing data and available scientific evidence in accordance with standard operating procedures.Interpret germline, somatic and cfDNA sequence variants from patient samples within the context of inherited and acquired conditions to determine their clinical significance Evaluate variant function, potential clinical impact and genotype-phenotype relationships for neurological and oncological disorders using scientific literature and available genomic tools Write clear, communicable reports based on test results Perform quality control of variant and clinical analysis, interpretations and completed reports Troubleshoot dynamic and spontaneous issues related to job function. Key Responsibilities & Essential Functions May assist in the design, execution, and analysis of experiments under the guidance of senior researchers. Conduct experiments, collect data, and assist in analyzing and may interpret results using appropriate tools and methodologies. Maintain accurate and detailed records of experimental procedures, results, and observations in compliance with regulatory standards. Ensure proper maintenance of laboratory equipment, inventory management, and adherence to safety protocols. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, effectively communicating experimental procedures, results, and insights. May support senior scientists in reviews, experimental setup, and troubleshooting. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Hands-on experience in a laboratory setting, preferably in a research or academic environment.
