We are seeking an Evolutionary Cell Biology Fellow to join our Validation team for a 3-month fellowship. This is an ideal opportunity for scientists in the final stages of their PhD or postdoc training who want to experience industry research in an open science environment working with diverse organisms, or for researchers excited to apply cell biology techniques across the tree of life. Evolutionary Cell Biology Fellows will generate phenotypic and genotypic data to compare cellular features across organisms. Because we use evolution to select the best organism to study each biological question, fellows will work with diverse, often non-traditional organisms and cell types. Fellows will contribute to a defined project with the goal of publishing their work openly by the end of the fellowship.
Job Responsibility:
Develop, adapt, and optimize experimental workflows for gathering phenotypic data across diverse cellular and organismal systems
Validate platform tools and test predictions using cell-based or organism-based assays
Troubleshoot experimental challenges independently and creatively
Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to contribute to shared research goals
Keep detailed experimental records and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
Publish results openly by the end of the fellowship
Requirements:
PhD in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field
Demonstrated hands-on expertise in cell or organism-based assay development
Proficiency with core cell biology tools and techniques
Comfort with core molecular biology tools and techniques
Comfort working with diverse cellular organisms and systems
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Nice to have:
Familiarity with data analysis using Python or R is preferred
What we offer:
Travel and relocation support is available for candidates relocating temporarily to the Bay Area
