The Department of Genetics at Stanford University seeks a 1 year fixed term 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 determined to transform the study of biomolecular interactions and cellular epigenomes. Current priorities include exhaustive profiling and biophysical modeling of sequence landscapes for DNA binding proteins, and characterization of newly discovered and engineered CRISPR enzymes. Other projects in the lab include building a genome-level human cell atlas of gene expression and DNA accessibility and improving single-cell genomic technologies. More broadly, the Greenleaf lab joins the rest of the Genetics department in crafting sequencing- and big data-driven answers to longstanding questions regarding the physical basis of gene regulation and cellular differentiation.

A successful future member of the lab will be a team player ready to be organized, solve problems, and communicate his/her findings effectively. We invite motivated, creative, and reliable individuals to apply to join us in our highly collaborative, cutting-edge research at the forefront of modern biology.

Specific tasks include being trained for and performing a technique newly developed in the Greenleaf lab – massively parallel filter binding – and maintaining and expanding the constituent equipment as needed. The LSRP will also be expected to contribute their own ideas and techniques to the lab and attend lab meetings and journal clubs.

Other duties include:

• 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 the theories and methods of a life science discipline to interpret and perform analyses of experiment results; offer suggestions regarding modifications to procedures and protocols in collaboration with senior researcher.

The Department of Developmental Biology is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Life Science Research Professional 1 (1 year fixed term) to join the Bowling Lab (bowlinglab.org) to help understand cell lineage formation and plasticity during mammalian embryogenesis.

In the Bowling Lab, we are interested in understanding how mammalian embryos are able to tolerate major perturbations in development, such as coping with cell mutation, cell loss, and cell gain. Our ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to harness resilience mechanisms in disease, ageing, and regeneration. We use a combination of classical embryological approaches together with next-generation tools, including in vivo barcoding mouse models that enable us to simultaneously trace millions of cells in the mouse during development or adulthood. As a new lab, the position will benefit from lots of direct interaction and mentorship from Dr. Bowling, as well as the opportunity to be involved with multiple projects ongoing in the lab.

In addition to submitting your application via the Stanford web portal, please email your CV and cover letter directly to Dr. Sarah Bowling at .

Duties include:

• Plan and carry out experiments, analyze data, interpret and discuss findings with team-members, troubleshoot experiments, develop protocols.
• Work in teams to create new tools for understanding mechanisms of tissue resilience and embryonic responses to perturbation.
• Perform lab management activities, including: maintaining, ordering, and organizing lab stock; managing chemical inventory and safety records; unpacking reagent deliveries; managing and maintaining mouse colonies; performing mouse genotyping; providing general lab support as needed.
• Assisting with orientation and training of new staff or students on lab procedures or techniques.
• Reviewing literature on an ongoing basis to remain current with new procedures and apply learnings to related research.
• Contributing to publication of findings as needed. Participate in the preparation of protocols, presentations, and publications.
