In Vivo Immunology Research Specialist: Mouse Models

Stanford Reglab; United States; On-site; USD 85,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

Stanford University is seeking a Life Science Research Professional 2 to support in vivo mouse tumor models and cellular immunology workflows across two labs. The role emphasizes hands-on work with tumor implantation, engineered T cells, and maintaining the mouse colony within a collaborative environment.

The ideal candidate has strong experience in T cell immunology, flow cytometry, and primary immune cell culture, with the ability to coordinate multiple concurrent experiments and adhere to

Qualifications

• BS/MS/PhD with at least 3 years of relevant research experience in academia and/or industry.
• Strong background in T cell immunology with in vitro and in vivo analyses of CAR/TCR function and cytokine signaling.
• Experience with murine tumor models and adoptive cell therapy.
• Experience managing or supporting a mouse colony with breeding strategies and genotyping.
• Familiarity with animal research compliance (APLAC/IACUC).
• Experience with flow cytometry (multicolor panels, intracellular staining) and immune cell phenotyping.
• Experience with primary immune cell culture, including T cell isolation, activation, transduction, and expansion.
• Strong organizational skills to manage multiple concurrent in vivo and in vitro workflows.
• Ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced research environment with faculty, trainees, and staff.
• Strong written and verbal communication with core facilities, collaborators, and vendors.

Responsibilities
