Laboratory Manager | Laboratory of Chemistry and Cell Biology

3 weeks ago


New York, United States The Rockefeller University Full time
Organization Overview

We study molecular mechanisms required for the stable propagation of our genomes with the goal of developing new therapies to treat cancer. Errors in cell division have been linked to diseases and developmental defects in humans. We combine the discovery and use of chemical probes,synthetic chemistry,biochemistry,biophysics,and quantitative cell biology to answer long-standing questions relating to cell division. Studying cell division also provides us an opportunity to develop new approaches for the analysis of other complex cellular mechanisms.
Overview

The Laboratory Manager's duties will be divided across lab management / administrative and technical /scientific duties. Administrative duties will primarily involve organizing scientific meetings of lab members or guests, general product ordering and lab organization (~65% time).
