Palo Alto, United States Arc Institute Full time

About Arc Institute

The Arc Institute is a new scientific institution that conducts curiosity-driven basic science and technology development to understand and treat complex human diseases. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Arc is an independent research organization founded on the belief that many important research programs will be enabled by new institutional models. Arc operates in partnership with Stanford University, UCSF, and UC Berkeley.

While the prevailing university research model has yielded many tremendous successes, we believe in the importance of institutional experimentation as a way to make progress. These include:

Funding: Arc will fully fund Core Investigator’s (PI’s) research groups, liberating scientists from the typical constraints of project-based external grants. Technology: Biomedical research has become increasingly dependent on complex tooling. Arc Technology Centers develop, optimize and deploy rapidly advancing experimental and computational technologies in collaboration with Core Investigators. Support: Arc aims to provide first-class support—operationally, financially and scientifically—that will enable scientists to pursue long-term high risk, high reward research that can meaningfully advance progress in disease cures, including neurodegeneration, cancer, and immune dysfunction. Culture: We believe that culture matters enormously in science and that excellence is difficult to sustain. We aim to create a culture that is focused on scientific curiosity, a deep commitment to truth, broad ambition, and selfless collaboration.

Arc scaled to nearly 100 people in its first year. With $650M+ in committed funding and a state of the art new lab facility in Palo Alto, Arc will continue to grow quickly to several hundred in the coming years.

About the position:

Arc is searching for an experienced Lab Operations Manager who is passionate about operational excellence, collaboration and high communication.

You believe that high quality results come from a clear plan. You like looking weeks, months, or years ahead to make sure you’re building the right thing for the long term. You are detail oriented. The small things matter, you would spot safety issues and a clean lab is a thing of beauty in your eyes.You are inspired by science. You see the transformational potential of biological research, and want to contribute to advancing the field with your expertise.

In this position you will:

Assist lab owners with coordinating equipment moves and installations, ensuring site of installation met criteria for system operation, functional support and space. Develop robust supply management workflows

Requirements:

Strong understanding of workflows in shared life science laboratories. Excellent cross-functional communication skills including an ability to partner and negotiate with labs, PI’s and senior management Highly organized, with a drive to actively improve process and workflows. Goal oriented with passion for independently working through defined goals and metrics. Highly collaborative with great enthusiasm for working across cross-functional teams. Able to calmly and positively navigate shifting priorities and rapid change.

The base salary range for this position is $84,000 to $132,000. These amounts reflect the range of base salary that the Institute reasonably would expect to pay a new hire or internal candidate for this position. The actual base compensation paid to any individual for this position may vary depending on factors such as experience, market conditions, education/training, skill level, and whether the compensation is internally equitable, and does not include bonuses, commissions, differential pay, other forms of compensation, or benefits. This position is also eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus, with the amount dependent on individual and institute performance factors. #J-18808-Ljbffr
