Senior Medical Laboratory Scientist (Contract, DDRL)

Are you an experienced clinical genetics professional looking to make a meaningful impact? Join our growing team at DDRL, where we've been at the forefront of clinical genetic testing for over 30 years.

Our comprehensive test menu spans thalassaemia screening, Fragile X, SMA, aneuploidy testing, Cardiogenetic NGS panels, and whole exome sequencing — and we're actively expanding our genomic testing capabilities to meet the clinical needs of tomorrow.

About the Role

As a Senior Medical Laboratory Scientist, you will play a central role in supporting the clinical reporting of our genetic tests, from analysing results and interpreting findings to drafting clear, accurate clinical reports. You will also take ownership of implementing and managing workflows, as well as contributing to assay design and development.

This role calls for someone who thrives in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. You will work closely with clinical, bioinformatics, and laboratory teams, and will need to navigate competing priorities with professionalism and precision. At DDRL, we hold ourselves to high standards — our patients and clinicians depend on us to deliver quality results, on time.

What We're Looking For

A PhD in a life sciences-related field is required. We welcome applications from candidates with at least 3 years of experience in a research or clinical setting, particularly in molecular or clinical genetics, as well as from recent PhD graduates with relevant experience.

The ideal candidate is self-driven and takes initiative, with the ability to work independently while contributing meaningfully as part of a team. Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset are essential, as you will be interfacing regularly with colleagues across clinical, bioinformatics, and laboratory disciplines.

Ready to grow with us? We'd love to hear from you.

Applications are on-going and we regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted via email. Thank you.
