Field Application Scientist in Single-Cell Omics

Help researchers turn innovative single-cell technologies into successful experiments.

Atrandi Biosciences pioneers droplet- and semi-permeable capsule (SPC) microcompartment-based technologies for single-cell research. SPCs encapsulate individual cells within a porous shell that retains cells and larger biological molecules while allowing appropriately sized reagents to pass through. This enables sequential processing within the same compartment, supporting flexible single-cell omics workflows.

We are seeking an experienced Field Application Scientist to guide customers from initial technical evaluation through hands‑on training, successful experiments and continued adoption. You will help researchers select appropriate workflows, generate high‑quality data and resolve technical challenges.

Working closely with our sales, support, product and R&D teams, you will support direct customers and distributor partners. Your primary goal will be to accelerate customer adoption and experimental success while contributing to effective, scalable scientific support.
