The Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology at Stanford University is seeking a Life Science Research Professional 1 to join Dr. Anca Pasca's laboratory to perform basic functions and activities involved in defined research projects, and independently conduct and analyze experiments.
The research focus of the lab is to understand molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders associated with premature birth and neonatal brain injury with the long-term goal of translating the lab's findings into therapeutics. The research team employs a multidisciplinary approach involving genetics, molecular and developmental neurobiology, animal models and neural cells differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. In particular, the lab is using a powerful 3D human brain-region specific organoid system developed at Stanford (Nature Methods, 2015; Nature Protocols, 2018) to ask questions about brain injury during development.
Responsibilities for this position include neural differentiation of iPSC and cell phenotyping, generation and characterization or iPSC, as well as direct experimental support. The LSRP will perform and analyze experiments in molecular and cell biology, flow cytometry, microscopy applying advanced knowledge of stem cell biology and neurobiology. The successful candidate will have excellent cell culture background and experience in neuroscience. The LSRP would be expected to conduct experiments under the supervision of the PI. Because the LSRP will frequently interact with a team of graduate and postdoctoral researchers, he or she must have the ability to communicate clearly scientific concepts both verbally and in writing.
