The Department of Genetics at Stanford University is a leading center for genomic research, dedicated to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying human health and disease. Our department brings together world-class faculty and researchers who develop and employ cutting-edge technologies from molecular to computational approaches to tackle fundamental questions in genetics. We foster a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment that bridges basic science with clinical applications, training the next generation of geneticists while pursuing discoveries that translate into improved human health outcomes. Our mission emphasizes scientific excellence, innovation, and the responsible application of genetic knowledge to benefit society. We are committed to building an inclusive scientific community that values the contributions of all our members to our research programs.
The Cox laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine seeks a full-time staff research scientist to accelerate the development of novel technologies for probing protein-RNA interactions at scale. Our laboratory aims to solve the fundamental challenge of predicting protein-RNA complex structures directly from sequence by integrating high-throughput experimental data with machine learning methods. The successful candidate will focus primarily on developing and implementing the experimental technologies that enable these large-scale measurements. More information about the lab can be found at coxlab.bio.
In this role, you will perform professional research in support of our scientific mission. You will contribute to developing research goals for the laboratory, work collaboratively with the Lab Head to determine optimal research methods, and independently perform scientific procedures requiring professional judgment. Additional responsibilities include interpreting experimental results, reviewing pertinent literature, and preparing research reports for presentation and publication.
What We Provide
Basic science research projects with potential for broad and sustained impact on pressing biomedical problems
Training in cutting-edge experimental and computational methods in molecular biology and biochemistry, including high-throughput sequencing
A collaborative, inclusive, and supportive research environment
Opportunities for authorship on research publications
A team committed to continuous learning and scientific collaboration
Membership in Stanford's vibrant scientific communities across the Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, and broader university
Core Duties
Research & Technical Development: Design, develop, and perform specialized experimental procedures for protein-RNA interaction studies, including high-throughput sequencing-based assays
Identify methodological challenges in research protocols and implement innovative solutions to optimize experimental outcomes
Evaluate emerging technologies and lead the integration of new methodologies into laboratory workflows
Troubleshoot complex experimental systems and maintain laboratory instrumentation
Organize experimental data
Data Analysis & Reporting
Prepare comprehensive research reports, manuscripts, and presentations for scientific meetings and publication
Collaborate on data visualization and statistical analysis to support research conclusions
Laboratory Leadership & Management
Develop and implement short- and long-term research strategies in collaboration with the Lab Head
Train and mentor junior laboratory members in experimental techniques and data analysis methods
Oversee laboratory operations including supply management, equipment maintenance, and safety protocols
Prepare specifications for specialized equipment and coordinate procurement of some research supplies
Required Qualifications
Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, genetics, or related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience
