HHMI Job Trends

In this role, you will join a team of scientists studying how the immune system interacts with bacterial members of the microbiota. You will be assisting with experiments being performed in the lab by helping with dissections and tissue processing. Other lab work may include molecular biology techniques. In addition, this role will involve maintenance of animals in a gnotobiotic environment, where mice live in an environment devoid of bacteria or colonized with defined bacteria. This will include basic animal care and husbandry as well as performing mouse experiments involving handling of mice. You will be a valued member of...

of Role This is a role for someone who wants to run a physical, people-facing operation personally, not manage it from a dashboard. You lead by being visible on campus, known by residents and colleagues, and trusted by a small team to make good calls without needing everything spelled out. Janelia Research Campus recruits some of the best scientific talent in the world. Housing and transportation are often the first things a new resident experiences. Campus Life makes that experience effortless, remarkable, and personal, and as Janelia grows, this team's work becomes more visible, not less. You will direct Campus...

We have an outstanding opportunity for a Research Technician II to join Dr. Xin Jin ’s lab at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California. The Jin lab is investigating how physiology and genetics impact brain function to understand how these distinct influences converge in the developing brain. To tackle these questions, they combine in vivo CRISPR screening with single-cell multi-omics, spatial genomics, and chemical biology tools. Their work is deeply collaborative, both within the lab and across disciplines, and bridges cutting-edge neurotechnology with fundamental questions in brain development. This integration of tool-building and mechanistic insight positions them to uncover how...

Join our lab to help drive forward our quantitative and computational research. In this role, you'll work closely with our computational lead and fellow scientists, playing a key part in expanding the lab's capacity and speed in tackling computational challenges. We're looking for someone who thrives on taking ownership of well-defined, modular projects, someone who writes clean, well-documented, reproducible code and brings a critical eye to interpreting results within their research context. As you grow in the role, you'll gain increasing independence, while knowing when to loop in the computational lead or PI on trickier problems. This position is a...

The ideal candidate is a professional, collegial individual who will enjoy working with mice, can work well independently and as part of a larger team, and is looking to grow professionally while supporting multiple projects in a medium-sized collaborative academic laboratory. The chosen candidate will be responsible for genotyping, handling, and breeding necessary to maintain the Scanziani lab’s colony of mice, histology and IF staining’s and provide them for various experiments in the lab. This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate who would like to gain a couple more years of academic research experience before applying to graduate school....
