We are currently looking for a Lab Manager to lead day-to-day operations for the laboratory of Dr. Joseph Mougous , now located at Yale University . This individual will work collaboratively with a multifaceted and interactive team that primarily investigates the molecular mechanisms bacteria employ to interact with or antagonize their microbial neighbors. More information about the Mougous lab can be found here About the Lab Manager role You will hold an integral role within the lab as the ‘go-to’ person – coordinating the day-to-day operations involved in running the lab and serving as both a professional partner to...

We are seeking a highly motivated and independent Postdoctoral Scientist to join our in-person, cross-disciplinary team. This role focuses on understanding the developmental and cellular mechanisms that regulate blood-brain barrier function using zebrafish and mouse models. Projects aim to define how vascular and surrounding neuronal and glial cells interact during development, how these interactions are disrupted in disease, and how those insights can guide translational research. The position involves designing and executing experiments, overseeing undergraduate researchers, and collaborating closely with Dr. O’Brown and other lab members in a fast-paced, discovery-driven environment. What You’ll Get Close mentorship from Dr. O’Brown and...

The laboratory of Dr. Richard Palmiter at the University of Washington is seeking a dynamic, driven, and meticulous Research Technician II to join the team. The Palmiter lab investigates the neural circuits that control innate behaviors. Dr. Palmiter and his team use mouse genetic models and viral gene transfer to study neural circuits in specific brain regions. Their goals are to visualize the activity of relevant neurons, determine where their axons project, and evaluate the behavioral and physiological consequences of activating or inhibiting those neurons. They also aim to identify downstream targets of neurons and discern how they are involved...

As a member of the team, you will focus on chemical synthesis , particularly designing and synthesizing reactive fluorescent dyes , fluorogenic enzyme substrates, and other small-molecule tools for biological research. Most of your time will be spent conducting multistep organic synthesis and characterizing compounds, with additional work in conjugation and protein chemistry as needed. What we provide A competitive compensation package, with comprehensive health and welfare benefits . One-on-one mentorship relationship with a senior researcher in the lab. A team that believes in continuous learning and cultivates an environment of collaboration. Amenities that enhance work-life balance such as on-site...

We have an outstanding opportunity for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join Dr. Mustafa Aydogan ’s lab team at Columbia University in New York City.

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Scientist with a PhD in Polymer Chemistry, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, or Bioengineering to drive the development of cutting-edge Expansion Microscopy (ExM) technologies. This position will play a central part in advancing ExM-based methodologies for both invertebrate (Fly) and vertebrate (Fish) model organisms. The successful candidate will combine strong technical expertise with leadership skills to design, implement, and scale ExM approaches, while also contributing to the integration of these methods into high-throughput data collection pipelines for the AI@ HHMI Initiative . The ideal candidate will have a strong scientific background in molecular tools, light...

We are actively seeking a Research Technician to join the lab of Dr. Jennifer Zallen at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, NY. This individual will work as part of an interactive, multidisciplinary team of scientists working to understand how cells navigate through the body during development and how defects in these processes can lead to birth defects and cancer. We use cell biological, genetic, biophysical, computational, and live-imaging approaches to visualize cell and protein dynamics in living embryos. The long-term goal of this research is to leverage this information to build, repair, and regenerate tissues to...
