Search Committee
Invitae-Remote
Dear Search Committee Member:
As a results-oriented and motivated researcher, clinician and professor with rich scientific experience in the biomedical sciences such as genomics, metabolics, biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, I would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to Invitae’s goals as a remote Clinical Genomic Scientist.
Highlights of my relevant background include:
Experience teaching healthcare, public health and biomedical science to community members, stakeholders, clients/patients, undergraduate students, and graduate students using both online and face-to-face platforms.
Proven ability to generate, analyze, and disseminate clinical and biological research information at the community and global level.
Publication and presentation history that includes next-generation sequencing, gene regulation and minute biochemical processes.
Experience as a program director and chair directly involved in faculty development and program administration at all levels.
I look forward to bringing my experience to benefit your operations. Should you need further information, I am available by phone, video conference or email. In the meanwhile, I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Traci Marin, Ph.D., M.PH., RRT, RPSGT
