Research Associate, Zebrafish Genetic Manipulation (Biohub SF)

The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) (https://www.czbiohub.org/sf/ ) is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.

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 San Francisco facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond

Diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.

The Opportunity

You will

• Under the mentorship and supervision of senior researchers, plan and execute hands-on laboratory procedures to generate transgenic zebrafish, develop more efficient approaches for genetic modification, and deploy new molecular tools in diverse experimental contexts
• Rapidly learn and apply molecular biology lab techniques and zebrafish husbandry in an active research environment with access to state-of-the-art resources
• Troubleshoot protocols, maintain detailed records, analyze results, and contribute ideas to research projects

You have

• Bachelor's degree in a life science
• 2 year molecular biology lab experience (such as one or more of the following: cloning, PCR, in vitro transcription, handling of DNA and RNA)
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Must be a dedicated team player who can also work independently
• Strong verbal and written communication skills

Nice to have -

Compensation

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is Research Associate I = $52,000.00 - $77,000.00 and Research Associate II = $67,000.00 - $99,000.00. New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. Actual placement in range is based on job-related skills and experience, as evaluated throughout the interview process.

What We Provide

• Resources to disrupt and innovate at the frontiers of our knowledge of biology and disease
• A collegial and collaborative environment consisting of diverse expertise
• Access to collaborators, resources and facilities at our three partner universities (Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco) and at partner organizations in the SF Bay Area and beyond
• Competitive compensation and benefits commensurate with the experience
