OPS Cell Biology Lab Technician

OPS Cell Biology Lab Technician

Bachelor’s degree in biology or a related discipline

Our lab investigates the mechanisms underlying membrane‑trafficking events—including endocytosis and autophagy—using state‑of‑the‑art techniques such as human induced pluripotent stem cells, genome editing, and fluorescent live‑cell imaging. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing projects, which may involve:

• Maintaining, expanding, and quality‑controlling cell lines
• Optimizing cell‑differentiation and genome‑editing protocols
• Performing DNA/RNA purification, cloning, and PCR

In addition, the technician will assist with day‑to‑day operations (e.g., preparing buffers, autoclaving media, and handling biomedical waste). Training will be provided on site; prior experience with mammalian cell culture is a strong plus.

$20–22 per hour, commensurate with qualifications and experience (0.8 FTE, 32 hours / week).

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in biology or a related field
• Minimum of 12 months of laboratory experience, preferably in cell‑biology research
• Self‑motivated, hard‑working, responsible, resilient, and capable of solving problems independently

• Experience with mammalian cell culture
• Experience with CRISPR‑mediated genome editing
