1. About our group:

Our new lab has a strong commitment to leverage natural systems and engineer them for the purpose of therapeutic discovery and development with the most advanced technologies. We welcome and encourage new approaches and creative ideas to solve problems. We highly appreciate teamwork and collaboration because impactful science is rarely done alone. Working in our lab is not only about doing good science, but also about developing as a scientist and a leader. Members of the lab are encouraged to take ownership of their projects, contribute to shaping research directions, and build skills in communication, mentorship, and collaboration. By joining our group, you will not only do rigorous and meaningful science together, but also grow toward becoming an independent and confident scientist prepared for the next stage of your career.

2. About the position:

We are seeking two Research Assistants to join our group. In this position, you will provide essential laboratory support, operations, management while gaining comprehensive training in lab techniques and scientific best practices. You will work closely with the PI and incoming lab mates to support daily operations, maintain high standards of safety and organization, and assist with ongoing research activities. This position is ideal for someone seeking hands-on experience in laboratory operations while contributing to cutting-edge scientific research.

3. About you:

• You are naturally proactive with a strong work ethic. You don't wait to be told what needs to be done: you anticipate needs, take initiative, and take pride in maintaining organized, efficient lab spaces. You understand that excellent research depends on meticulous attention to detail and consistent execution
• You have a natural affinity for process improvement and optimization. You're constantly thinking about how things can be done better, faster, or more efficiently. You enjoy analyzing workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing solutions that benefit the entire team 
• You are collaborative and reliable. You thrive in team environments, take initiative to support others, and can be counted on to follow through on commitments while maintaining excellent communication about priorities and challenges
• You are motivated by growth and continuous learning. You see this role as an opportunity to develop both technical and operational skills, and you're committed to contributing to lab efficiency and excellence

4. In this position, you will: 

• Support lab stock management including reagent and supply inventory, ordering and receiving, and preparation of common solutions, with increasing independence as you develop familiarity with lab operations
• Help maintain lab organization and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and safety
• Perform mammalian and stem cell culture, including cell maintenance, passaging, transfection, virus preparation, differentiation protocols, and co-culture systems, beginning with close guidance and progressing to autonomous execution
• Collaborate closely with senior scientists and RAs in the lab to conduct high-throughput CRISPR experiments
• Utilize a wide array of high-throughput molecular biology techniques, such as Gibson and Golden gate assembly, DNA/RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, qPCR, and more
• Independently conduct NGS library prep methods (short read).
• Assist with research planning, execution, analysis, troubleshooting, and data interpretation with a high degree of independence and continued support from the rest of the team
