Position Overview
The Stanford University Department of Pediatrics is committed to advancing the health of infants, children, and adolescents through innovative medical care, research, training, and advocacy. The Department of Pediatrics is comprised of several divisions. The laboratory of Dr. Glaivy Batsuli in the Department of Pediatrics and within the Division of Hematology, Oncology, Stem Cell Transplantation, and Regenerative Medicine focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of the immune response to blood coagulation proteins factor VIII and factor IX, which are deficient in patients with the inherited bleeding disorders hemophilia A and B. The laboratory’s mission is to devise therapeutics strategies that induce tolerance and to better understand mechanisms of bleeding through basic science and translational research. A safe and collaborative environment is fostered to encourage multidisciplinary approaches, exchange of ideas, and team science that includes other collaborating scientists, physicians, postdoctoral scholars, technicians, students, and learners at all stages of training.
The Batsuli Laboratory is seeking a
Basic Life Research Scientist . The successful candidate will lead scientific projects, design and execute experiments, perform data analysis, and effectively present data. They will mentor junior lab members and trainees, maintain efficient lab operations, manage the mice colony, address regulatory and administrative requirements, and contribute to grant writing, manuscript preparation, and progress reporting. The candidate will also aid in the maintenance and utilization of a longitudinal patient sample biobank.
We invite individuals who are passionate about advancing science, demonstrate a track record of scientific productivity, and seek to lead and grow a laboratory program. They should want to shape the training of future scientists and clinicians and contribute to collaborative scientific investigation that translates to patient care.
Pay Range Expected pay range: $80,000 to $90,000 per annum.
This range is a good‑faith estimate of the university’s expectations for this position. The final offer will be based on experience, qualifications, budget availability, and internal equity.
Core Duties
Perform mouse handling, procedures, and colony management.
Perform immunology and coagulation‑based wet‑bench assays & experiments (e.g., ELISA, clotting assays, thrombin generation assay, gel electrophoresis, PCR, cell culture, flow cytometry processing & analysis, molecular cloning).
Design, conduct, troubleshoot, and document complex independent experiments.
Develop novel lab assays or methods of experimental execution.
Analyze lab data generated by the candidate and other lab members.
Aid in processing samples and managing databases for a patient sample biobank.
Supervise training of lab personnel (research technicians, undergraduate students, graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows) and participate in hiring and performance evaluation.
Lead independent projects, oversee lab members’ projects, and coordinate team projects.
Conduct literature reviews to stay current and propose new research directions.
Contribute to abstracts, grant progress reports, and manuscript submissions.
Oversee lab operations, including safety maintenance, regulatory compliance, equipment care, and supply ordering.
Other duties may be added in discussion with the candidate.
Qualifications (Required)
PhD in immunology, molecular biology, or related field OR an MD.
Four or more years of research experience post‑PhD or MD.
Baseline experience or expertise in immunology.
Experience with animal (mice) handling and colony management.
Proficiency with basic software and analysis tools (Microsoft Office, GraphPad Prism, FlowJo, Adobe Illustrator).
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Strong initiative, teamwork, data processing, written and oral presentation, and problem‑solving skills.
Ability to meet deadlines with general guidance.
Excellent communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
English proficiency.
Contact information for three recent references.
Qualifications (Desired)
Computational biology experience, including single‑cell RNA sequencing methods and analysis (e.g., R, Python).
Prior experience with principles of coagulation or coagulation‑based assays.
Previous experience with administrative and regulatory tasks and biorepository/biobanks.
