Stanford CA, United States Stanford University Full time

The Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine at Stanford University is seeking a Life Science Research Professional 2 to join Dr. John Benjamin’s laboratory to perform complex functions and activities involved in laboratory research projects.

The B enjamin lab uses experimental models to study the developmental origins of lung diseases. The qualified candidate will have experience in biomedical research and the ability to quickly learn cutting-edge molecular and cellular techniques. Projects use transgenic mouse models to investigate inflammatory signaling pathways and extracellular matrix organization in the neonatal and adult lung. Approaches make use of routine laboratory techniques as well as modern transcriptional profiling, single cell technologies, tissue imaging, and bioinformatic analyses. The ideal candidate will work well with other team members along with leading their individual projects.


Duties include:

· Independently conduct a portion of the research project(s). Make recommendations on experimental design and/or research direction to principal investigator.
· Independently conduct complex (lab and/or field) experiments to gather data for a portion of a major research project.
· Interpret and analyze results, often where few guidelines exist, and make modifications to existing procedures and protocols.
· Develop new research protocols where appropriate protocols are not described in the literature or where modification or adaptation of standard procedures and protocols is required.
· Participate in multidisciplinary teams across different faculties or schools.
· Perform ongoing literature review to remain current with new procedures and related research; apply to ongoing research and development of new protocols.
· Contribute substantively to the preparation of papers for publication, especially in the results section, and to publication of findings. Present ongoing work to colleagues and/or academic conferences.
· Work with health and safety department to ensure lab complies with regulations and all required trainings.
· Oversee the daily activities of the laboratory including lab maintenance; maintain lab stock, manage chemical inventory and safety records, and provide general lab support as needed. May assist with purchasing laboratory equipment.
