Research Associate, Multiomics and Immune Profiling Lab (MIP Lab - CZ BiohubYale Annex)
The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub New York (CZ Biohub NY) is an independent nonprofit research institute that partners with Columbia University, Rockefeller University, and Yale University to conduct cutting‑edge research in biomedical science and engineering. CZ Biohub NY supports scientists, engineers, and data scientists to investigate disease mechanisms and develop actionable diagnostics and therapies.
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 facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond.
The Opportunity We are seeking a detail-oriented and collaborative
Research Associate
to support the development and operation of a
Multiomics and Immune Profiling Lab (MIP Lab)
situated inside Yale University’s CZ Biohub Annex. The MIP Lab will implement high‑throughput multiomics and immune profiling including single‑cell genomics, spatial profiling, genetics, and environmental perturbation experiments. This role is ideal for someone passionate about cutting‑edge molecular technologies in a large‑scale, team‑oriented environment.
What You’ll Do
Set up and maintain laboratory equipment and workflows for single‑cell genomics and multi‑omics applications.
Execute complex single‑cell genomics experiments and coordinate sample processing with collaborating investigators and core facilities.
Establish, troubleshoot, and optimize experimental pipelines and standard operating procedures for molecular and genomic technologies, including various omics library preparations.
Perform quality control and preliminary computational analysis of genomic data to support experimental troubleshooting and workflow optimization.
Maintain detailed documentation of protocols, experimental conditions, and results.
Work closely with staff scientists, bioinformaticians, and other team members on large‑scale collaborative projects.
Contribute to the training and mentoring of junior team members on technical procedures.
Communicate with collaborators and external contacts to discuss and evaluate results.
Consult with reagents and technology vendors to advance research methods.
Collaborate with EHS officers to ensure laboratory safety and compliance.
What You’ll Bring Essential
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genomics, bioengineering, or related field.
Hands‑on experience with molecular biology techniques and genomic technologies, particularly single‑cell analysis methods.
Experience with genomic library construction and next‑generation sequencing workflows.
Working knowledge of bioinformatics tools and basic programming skills (Python and/or R) for data processing and quality control.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail in executing multi‑step experimental workflows.
Excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in team‑based research environments.
Enthusiasm for technology implementation and large‑scale project coordination rather than independent hypothesis‑driven research.
Nice to have
3+ years of relevant research experience or a PhD in a related field with interest in hands‑on work in large‑scale multiomics and immune profiling team settings.
Compensation The base salary range for this role in New York City, NY is $71,000.00 – $98,000.00, with placement typically in the lower portion of the range. Salary is based on skills and experience and can grow over time.
Benefits for the Whole You
Generous employer match on 401(k) contributions.
Paid time off to volunteer at an organization of your choice.
Funding for select family‑forming benefits.
Relocation support for employees who need assistance moving.
If you are interested in a role but your previous experience doesn’t perfectly align with each qualification, we still encourage you to apply as you may be a perfect fit for this or another role.
