The Scientific Operations team at Janelia Research Campus is seeking a Manager to lead and support the Molecular Genomics and Flow Cytometry Shared Resources. This is a hands-on role that combines day-to-day experimental work with responsibility for ensuring reliable, high-quality service delivery, as well as being a subject matter expert in these areas. The Manager is the primary technical authority within the unit and is accountable for executing and optimizing molecular biology workflows, interpreting results, and communicating clearly with researchers to support their scientific goals. Success in this role requires strong technical judgment, attention to detail, ability to stay up...

We are looking to hire a full-time research technician who has experience working with rodents. A core responsibility of the position (~50%) will be to help us to maintain our large and complex colony of transgenic mice, including breeding and weaning animals and performing genotyping. The remaining time (~50%) will be devoted to helping the PI manage a lab of 15-20 graduate students, postdocs and technicians. Responsibilities may include interfacing with the university on compliance matters (e.g. IACUC and EH&S) and helping with the administrative, organizational and interpersonal tasks necessary to keep the lab running smoothly. We are ideally targeting...

The Research Technician will support both the technical and operational needs of the lab, contributing directly to ongoing research projects while assisting with lab organization and infrastructure. This is a highly hands-on role with a strong emphasis on experimental work across multiple research areas. The ideal candidate will be able to quickly integrate into ongoing projects and contribute meaningfully to experimental workflows in a collaborative, team-oriented environment. This position is best suited for candidates seeking a longer-term role in a research environment, with interest in building sustained experience and contributing to projects over an extended period. Application Instructions Please include...

We have an opportunity for a Research Technician to join the Chouchani lab at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. We tend to think of metabolites as simple building blocks and fuel for biological processes. But many metabolites appear to play crucial roles in regulating living systems. This concept of metabolite signaling remains poorly understood at the biochemical level, and we still do not understand how most metabolite signals work. Edward Chouchani’s lab is developing new technologies to better understand the rules of the language of core metabolite signals. The hope is that by understanding how nature uses metabolism to regulate biological...

In this role, you will join a team of scientists studying how the immune system interacts with bacterial members of the microbiota. The primary focus of this role will be managing a colony of gnotobiotic mice, which are housed in an environment devoid of bacteria or colonized with defined bacteria. This opportunity would be perfect for someone who enjoys working with mouse colonies. You will manage daily facility operations for the mouse colony including animal husbandry (health checks, food/water, cage changes, breeding/weaning), maintenance/ordering of supply stocks, cleaning the facility, and moving supplies in and out of the isolators. You will...

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...

The Research Technician will support ongoing research focused on immunology and cancer biology, working closely with lab members to execute experiments and maintain critical lab operations. This role offers exposure to a wide range of techniques and the opportunity to contribute to impactful research in a fast-paced academic environment. The ideal candidate will be self-driven, collaborative, and motivated to contribute to advancing cancer immunotherapy research. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals planning to pursue medical school or graduate studies who are looking to gain hands-on research experience in an academic lab environment. We are ideally seeking candidates who can...
