Job Description
The Team
TheChan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco(CZ Biohub SF)( an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest boldest engineers data scientists and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.
Our Vision
- We pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments
- We enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideas
- The technologies developed at CZ Biohub San Francisco facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond
Diversity of thought ideas and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.
The Opportunity
The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco is embarking on a comparative virology initiative that strives to map how cells are wired and remodeled in health and disease by making phenotypic and multiomic measurements of cells undergoing perturbations such as viral infection or gene knock-out. For this we combine molecular biology cell line engineering imaging transcriptomics proteomics and data science. We build large datasets and use them to draw new biological insights. You will have opportunities to publish innovate and influence the future of biology. We offer competitive salaries and benefits with a commitment to equity and inclusion.
The Genomics Platform is seeking a curious energetic and talented Research Associate to use long read and short read sequencing technologies to understand how transcriptomics in development and viral infection are dynamically remodeled over time and under a variety of perturbations using single cell and spatial transcriptomics. This is a great opportunity for candidates with a strong interest in molecular and cellular biology as well as cutting-edge single-cell and genomic technologies to expand their skills and expertise supported by experts in a highly collaborative and well-funded scientific environment.
This role will be based in San Francisco initially with a planned transition to Redwood City in two years.
What Youll Do
- Learn and implement cutting edge techniques including bulk single cell and spatial transcriptomics CRISPR and next generation sequencing under the mentorship and supervision of senior researchers.
- Perform basic molecular biology (nucleic acid isolation PCR)
- Learn to automate protocols and utilize liquid handlers.
- Collaborate with personnel from different technology platforms (proteomics computational microscopy bioengineering computational biology) and research groups (cell biology zebrafish development infectomics virology).
- Troubleshoot protocols develop clear experimental pipelines maintain detailed records analyze results and contribute ideas to research projects
What Youll Bring
Essential
