Life Science Research Professional 1
Inside Higher Ed, Stanford, California, United States, 94305
Overview
Base pay range: $26.44/hr - $36.54/hr School of Medicine, Stanford, California, United States • Research • Post Date: Dec 2, 2024 • Requisition #: 100976 What you will do
The Department of Genetics at Stanford University seeks a Life Science Research Professional (LSRP) I to join William Greenleaf’s lab, focusing on new, high-throughput technology for biochemistry and chromatin biology. The LSRP will be an integral member of a diverse and interdisciplinary research team working to transform the study of biomolecular interactions and cellular epigenomes. Projects include exhaustively profiling and biophysical modeling of sequence landscapes for DNA binding proteins, and characterization of newly discovered and engineered CRISPR enzymes. Other projects include building a genome-level human cell atlas of gene expression and DNA accessibility and improving single-cell genomic technologies. The Greenleaf lab collaborates with the Genetics department to craft sequencing- and big data-driven answers to questions about gene regulation and cellular differentiation. A successful future member will be a team player who is organized, problem-solves, and communicates findings effectively. We invite motivated, creative, and reliable individuals to apply to join our highly collaborative, cutting-edge research at the forefront of modern biology. Responsibilities
Plan approach to experiments in support of research projects in lab and/or field based on knowledge of scientific theory. Independently conduct experiments; maintain detailed records of experiments and outcomes. Apply theories and methods of a life science discipline to interpret and perform analyses of results; propose modifications to procedures and protocols in collaboration with a senior researcher. Review literature to stay current with new procedures and apply learnings to related research. Contribute to publication of findings as needed; assist in preparing procedures, presentations, and proposals. Assist with general lab maintenance; manage lab stock, chemical inventory, and safety records; provide general lab support. Help with orientation and training of new staff or students on lab procedures or techniques. Other duties may also be assigned. Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering, Genetics, Biochemistry, or Molecular Biology. Experience with general molecular biology techniques (e.g., PAGE, PCR, qPCR). Experience performing and analyzing experiments independently for a scientific publication. Experience with tissue culture. Familiarity with CRISPR/Cas9. Experience with high-throughput sequencing methods. Education & Experience (required)
Bachelor's degree in a related scientific field. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (required)
General understanding of scientific principles; demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and skills when needed. Ability to problem-solve using theoretical knowledge of science principles. Ability to maintain detailed records of experiments and outcomes. General computer skills and ability to learn and master computer programs, databases, and scientific applications. Ability to work under deadlines with general guidance. Excellent organizational skills and ability to complete detailed work accurately. Certifications & Licenses
None. Physical Requirements
Frequently stand, walk, twist, bend, stoop, squat, grasp, perform desk-based tasks, use a phone, write by hand, lift and carry objects weighing over 40 pounds. Occasionally sit, kneel, crawl, reach and work above shoulders, sort and file. Rarely climb, scrub, sweep, mop, chop and mix or operate hand and foot controls. Must have corrected vision to perform duties. Ability to bend, squat, kneel, stand, reach above shoulder level, and move on hard surfaces for up to eight hours. Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and work in dusty, dirty, or odorous environments. Position may require repetitive motion. Consistent with its obligations under the law, the University will provide reasonable accommodation to any employee with a disability who requires accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job. Working Conditions
May require working near blood-borne pathogens or in environments where animals are used for teaching and research. Position may require work with hazardous materials and/or infectious diseases; PPE may be required (safety glasses, protective clothing, gloves, respirator if needed). May require extended or unusual work hours based on research requirements and business needs. The expected pay range for this position is $26.44 to $36.54 per hour. Stanford provides pay ranges as a good faith estimate. The final offered pay depends on factors such as scope and responsibilities, qualifications, budget, internal equity, location, and external market pay. At Stanford University, base pay is one component of the rewards package. The Cardinal at Work website provides detailed information on benefits and rewards, which may be discussed during the hiring process. Work Standards
Interpersonal Skills: ability to work well with Stanford colleagues, clients, and external organizations. Promote Culture of Safety: commitment to personal responsibility and safety; communicate safety concerns; practice safe behaviors based on training. Subject to and expected to comply with all applicable University policies and procedures. Schedule & Other Details
