Scientific Environment
Asuragen is a technology driven company that prides itself on its scientific excellence.
A key to our success has been to hire exceptional scientists who thrive in collaborative,
team-oriented research programs. If you are a creative, productive scientist with
an interest in enhancing cancer patient care through the creation of more effective
diagnostic assays, please apply for a position with us. We are less concerned with
your specific background and more interested in your scientific abilities. We also
are always looking for excellent Master’s and Bachelor degree level scientists.
Please inquire about postdoctoral positions as well. Although scientists with strong
backgrounds in cancer, diagnostic assay development, bioinformatics, and nucleic
acid technology development are preferred, Asuragen recognizes the benefits of adding
non-biologists to our scientific teams. This includes scientists with backgrounds
in chemistry, biophysics, engineering, programming, and informatics. Asuragen encourages
a work hard, play hard culture that creates compelling opportunities for scientists
to broaden their technical, managerial, and business development skills. If you
are interested in helping develop the next generation of diagnostic assays which
will allow early detection of cancer and better classification and stratification
of tumors, please apply for a position with us.
