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 Coordinator facilitates the workflow and implementation of 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 40,000 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.
The position's activities include:

  • Logistics coordination to organize the end-to-end kit lifecycle, ensuring components are procured, assembled by external providers, and successfully tracked through participant shipment and return.
  • Facilitate contract maintenance with kit component vendors in coordination with the procurement office.
  • Financial tracking for MCC finances, monitoring project budgets, and facilitating cost-recovery processes in collaboration with sponsored programs.
This position will have the ability to maintain collaborative operations within the MCC, executing project tasks using existing physical and community infrastructure. This role requires strong interpersonal skills and the ability to coordinate workflows among diverse technical and administrative groups (laboratory and/or computational), as well as the ability and willingness to collaborate with and coordinate among diverse groups throughout Boston and within the Harvard Chan School.
