The Center for Aquaculture Technologies

8445 Camino Santa Fe Suite 104, San Diego, CA 92121 The Center for Aquaculture Technologies (CAT), a private aquaculture innovation and research company, is seeking a Research Associate to support innovations in genome editing technologies being developed at the CAT laboratory located in San Diego, CA. This is a full-time, on-site, Permanent position and will begin with the successful candidate reporting to the genome editing scientists. Why Join the Center for Aquaculture Technologies? Become part of a team that is reshaping the future of aquaculture through innovation. Your work as a Research Associate will support our ongoing development of technologies that will advance sustainable aquaculture practices worldwide. Responsibilities: Assist in the planning and execution of laboratory experiments for ongoing research projects. Culture, maintain, and monitor established cell lines (e.g., HEK293, CHO, RTG-2, CHSE-214) under sterile conditions. Isolate, expand, and maintain primary cell lines derived from fish tissues. Conduct cell culture experiments with minimal supervision, including electroporation, transfection, and transduction of various cell lines. Assist in the design and execution of cell-based assays, including cell viability, proliferation, and immunofluorescence assays. Maintain accurate and detailed records of experiments, including laboratory notebooks and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ensuring compliance with protocols and regulatory standards.
