Job Description

"The road that leads to accomplishment is narrow." --Desmond

Ostentatious is a strong adjective that fits the description of an individual that inhibits the natural and innate spirit of vivaciousness, vigor and the eager characteristics that comprise the disposition of one who's willing to learn; to take on the attitude of "the eternal student".

With that said, Atlanta, Georgia-based scientific R&D outfit, Hexagon Lavish®, has an open position for an excitable principal research assistant that will be mentored and guided by our Chief Science Officer.

This position includes computational and statistical analysis of sequencing studies, technical and logistical collaboration with international consortia. As well, the Excitable Principal Research Assistant will be responsible for setting the schedule for entry-level scientists whom will also be guided by our Chief Scientist. The Excitable Principal Research Assistant will also be in charge of delegating reports and responsibilities to the Project Leads on behalf of the Chief Science Officer and the Chief Technology Officer.

The Excitable Principal Research Assistant will engage entry-level scientists and researchers, setting-up work schedules for entry-level scientists and researchers and also be heavily-involved in workshops and internal team seminars as well as perform clerical and/or administrative duties such as reports that are directly to be addressed to the Chief Science Officer.
