Description & Requirements
The Microbiome Collection Core (MCC) enables population-scale microbiome research by developing maintaining and administering kits and biospecimens for high-throughput microbiome sample collection. The Managers responsibility is to direct the development and execution of these collaborative microbiome sample collection projects in tandem with the Genomics and Metabolomics Platforms local microbiome centers and other teams as needed (including individual labs and Broad affiliates). The MCC has developed a modular room-temperature USPS-compatible home microbiome sampling kit that has been used for over 40000 collections to date. It includes components for several different types of oral or gut microbiome samples; molecular microbial culture or gnotobiotic animal data generation; standardized questionnaires and metadata to accompany each sample; user-friendly graphical instructions; and an automated sample handling workflow compatible with Broad SSF data generation.

Strong interpersonal skills as well as some relevant technical experience are required (laboratory and/or computational) as is the ability and willingness to collaborate with and coordinate among diverse groups throughout Boston and within the Harvard Chan School.
