&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Arc Institute&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arc Institute is an independent nonprofit research organization at the interface of artificial intelligence and biology, working to accelerate scientific progress and understand the root causes of complex diseases. Founded in 2021 and based in Palo Alto, Arc partners with Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike academia, our scientists have long-term funding and industry-like resources. Unlike industry, they&#39;re free to pursue high-risk, long-term research without commercial pressures. Arc&#39;s Technology Centers and Core Investigator labs work side by side, integrating experimental and computational biology under one roof to tackle problems neither could solve alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our two Institute Initiatives reflect this model in action:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://arcinstitute.org/virtual-cell-initiative&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Virtual Cell Initiative&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; Building a full-stack virtual cell model to identify disease mechanisms and nominate drug targets,&amp;nbsp; accelerating the path from biological insight to clinical trials.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://arcinstitute.org/alzheimers-disease-initiative&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alzheimer&#39;s Disease Initiative&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; Mapping the genes, pathways, and environmental factors behind Alzheimer&#39;s disease to develop drug candidates that address root causes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More than 300 Arconauts work together at our Palo Alto headquarters, backed by substantial long-term philanthropic funding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the position&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2025, Arc Institute created the &lt;a href=&quot;https://virtualcellchallenge.org/&quot;&gt;Virtual Cell Challenge&lt;/a&gt; (VCC) to accelerate progress in applying machine learning to understand cells in new ways. The competition follows a long history of similar mechanisms that have helped forge new paths in machine learning and science. The VCC has created major traction in its first year, with thousands of participants joining a new community focused on this massive opportunity. Arc plans to run the VCC annually, introducing new datasets and increasingly complex biological objectives over time. We&#39;re seeking a part-time Community Support Contractor to help manage participant engagement, respond to support inquiries, and foster the growing VCC community.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You love being organized. &lt;/strong&gt;Bringing order to ambiguity is one of your strengths. You get satisfaction from getting to “inbox zero” and seeing a list with everything checked off.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can learn quickly. &lt;/strong&gt;This role will require understanding everything from single-cell biology concepts to machine learning evaluation metrics. You don&#39;t need to be an expert in all these areas, but you should be excited about learning them and have a track record of diving into new domains.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No job is too big or too small.&lt;/strong&gt; We have a lean team and everyone does whatever they can to help the competition succeed. You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves no matter the task.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this position you will&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate with the Virtual Cell Challenge employee team at Arc to understand the competition and be well informed in order to operate as independently as possible&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Respond to support tickets from competitors, providing timely and accurate answers about challenge rules, submission processes, and technical requirements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Monitor our Discord community and social media for competitor questions, concerns, and feedback, escalating complex issues to the appropriate team members&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maintain and update the Challenge FAQ and other documentation based on recurring participant questions and feedback&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Welcome and onboard new participants to the community, helping them get oriented and connected to relevant resources&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Track and summarize common support trends and participant feedback, sharing regular updates with the core team to inform challenge improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work with Communications team on announcements, create and publish VCC assets, and track participation and other metrics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Technical background, i.e. in biology and/or computer science&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Excellent communication skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Exceptional organizational abilities to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong bias for action and ability to drive results in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preferred Qualifications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Previous exposure to bio AI or computational biology&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Track record of high impact in a fast moving startup environment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with community management&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fees&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an independent contractor role paying $35/hour, with the expectation of 5-10 hours per week of work from August to November 2026. You will be solely responsible for all taxes and withholdings on these fees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Finally, we merge advances in biology and AI to mine the metagenomic sequence space, enable generative genome design, and build towards a virtual cell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lately, we have been thinking about the following research frontiers (your innovative ideas could be related, or broadly fit into our thematic interests):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discovery and engineering of modulators/probes/drug-like molecules for general physiological control and human enhancement (e.g. sleep, appetite, energy etc) by employing in silico, in vitro and/or in vivo approaches&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Immune rejuvenation and skin/microbe/barrier tissue rejuvenation for aging-related phenotypes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New programmable molecular tools for synthetic biology and AI-guided perturbations of cellular behavior&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postdocs in the lab are encouraged to lead ambitious, independent projects, resulting in high-impact publications. You will have the opportunity to collaborate widely across Arc, Stanford, and the broader Bay Area ecosystem, with access to strong platforms in our lab and our institutions for genomics, single-cell technologies, synthetic biology, computation, and experimental model systems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://arcinstitute.org/labs/hornslab&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Horns Lab&lt;/a&gt; is seeking motivated, hard-working, and curious scientists. Our lab develops and applies technologies that bridge synthetic biology and genomics to answer fundamental and translational questions in human health, with a particular emphasis on immunology and neuroscience. We build new tools and use them to discover mechanisms in complex, dynamic systems, including the immune system, the brain, and other tissues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Postdocs in the lab are encouraged to lead ambitious, independent projects, resulting in high-impact publications, and to prepare for long-term careers in academia or industry. You will have the opportunity to collaborate widely across Arc, Stanford, and the broader Bay Area ecosystem, with access to strong platforms in our lab and our institutions for genomics, single-cell technologies, synthetic biology, computation, and experimental model systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The questions we ask:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are interested in how cells change over time and how those dynamics drive health and disease, and in building technologies to measure and control those dynamics. Example questions include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How can we measure cellular dynamics non-destructively at scale, capturing histories, interactions, and functional outputs?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How do extracellular vesicles (EVs) and virus-like particles (VLPs) interact with cells and tissues, and what molecular rules govern secretion, trafficking, uptake, and cargo delivery?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How can we engineer delivery systems to target specific cell types and achieve efficient cytosolic delivery with minimal off-target effects?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How do immune cells change state, migrate, and interact with tissues over time during homeostasis, inflammation, and disease?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How can we profile immune receptor specificity and function at scale (TCRs/BCRs) to decipher immune recognition and control immune behaviors?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The approaches we take:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We combine synthetic biology, genomics, cellular and mammalian models, and computation. Depending on the project, approaches may include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mammalian synthetic biology&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Single-cell and spatial multi-omics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Engineering and mechanistic study of EVs, VLPs, and other delivery systems&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Immune cell engineering and functional assays&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sequencing-based measurement technologies&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Computational analysis and modeling of high-dimensional datasets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are extremely curious and self-motivated.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You thrive in a fast-paced environment while conducting rigorous and impactful research.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are intellectually independent and enjoy proposing and driving new research directions (with input from your PI).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are eager to learn and adopt new techniques.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are excited to solve puzzles that have translational impact and/or enable new discovery and therapeutic approaches.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have a strong foundation in synthetic biology or genomics technology development, and/or in immunology or neuroscience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this position you will&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ishajainlab.com_&amp;amp;d=DwMF-g&amp;amp;c=iORugZls2LlYyCAZRB3XLg&amp;amp;r=vNfva3Zcxin30zKAYt_noLb6dTqLO9YBIU9maXLKVgc&amp;amp;m=b7Q1OMvGii23FwRK-OoLUQBCXtY-Iv2b3lg6TRHv7n0&amp;amp;s=4LclCVUYC_syLsZYmGpVfdJTbpdN6zNlyn-sI3wu3Vk&amp;amp;e=&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Jain Lab&lt;/a&gt; is looking for motivated, hard-working and curious applicants. At a high level, we study how organisms interact with their environments – how “what we breathe” and “what we eat” affects our metabolism and disease progression. More specifically, we are focused on oxygen and vitamin/cofactor metabolism. We recently discovered that chronic hypoxia (equivalent to living in the mountains of Peru or Nepal) can serve as a therapy for mitochondrial disease. This approach is currently in clinical trials. This work has inspired a broader set of research directions ranging from fundamental biochemistry to animal physiology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The questions we ask:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How do cells and organisms sense oxygen or vitamin levels? Are there novel oxygen sensors and vitamin sensors to be found?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How does the body adapt to variations in oxygen levels? Or vitamin levels?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When the supply and demand of oxygen or vitamins becomes mismatched, how does this contribute to disease?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can we “turn the oxygen and vitamin dials” as creative new therapies?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is the most practical form of turning these concepts into translatable therapies?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The approach we take: CRISPR screens, metabolomics, classical biochemistry/molecular biology, animal physiology and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Post-docs will be encouraged to lead independent projects resulting in high impact publications, present at conferences and prepare for long-term careers in academia or industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are extremely curious and self-motivated to push the boundaries of biomedical research.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You thrive in a fast-paced environment while conducting rigorous and impactful research.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are intellectually independent and are able to design new research directions and projects (with input from your PI).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are eager to learn and adapt new techniques.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are excited by solving puzzles that have a translational impact.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this position you will&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Find new functions for enzymes or cofactors (vitamins)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Contribute to our molecular understanding of how key metabolites are sensed by the body.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Develop novel therapeutic strategies for nutrient-based therapies.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate with post-docs and students to understand how enzymes and metabolites interact for key biochemical functions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Publish, present, and represent that lab in journals and conferences.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Present at lab meetings, and participate in Arc-wide activities (seminars, symposiums, etc).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You love science and learning. Whether it’s gaining knowledge in new fields of scientific research or learning a new lab technique, you never stop being curious and routinely enjoy stepping out of your comfort zone to learn new things.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can work fast and are detail-oriented. You are careful, meticulous, and diligent about good documentation practices, good lab practices, and keeping things organized while moving at a rapid pace.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You love to collaborate and help others. Science is a team effort, and you pride yourself in taking the initiative to participate and to offer help.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are a problem solver. Building new technologies comes with issues you need to troubleshoot. You pride yourself in your ability to troubleshoot complex problems.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Help foster a culture of innovation, excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mentor and develop junior program management staff, building institutional capacity for program management&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lead change management efforts as the institute scales, ensuring that evolving processes support rather than hinder scientific discovery and external engagement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why this position could be the best job you’ve ever had&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join a new type of research institute.&lt;/strong&gt; Work within an organization that combines the speed, focus, and technical execution of a startup with the intellectual depth and scientific rigor of a world-class academic research environment. Arc was built to remove many of the traditional constraints on ambitious science, enabling researchers and technologists to pursue bold, long-term questions with uncommon institutional support.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Work at the frontier of computational biology. &lt;/strong&gt;As part of the Computational Technology Center, you will help develop, scale, and deploy bioinformatics methods across some of the most exciting areas in modern biology, including single-cell genomics, multi-omics, Perturb-seq, spatial transcriptomics, CRISPR screens, and imaging-based technologies. Your work will not be limited to one project or dataset; you will contribute to reusable computational capabilities that can accelerate many scientific programs across the institute.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make a direct impact on high-risk, high-reward science.&lt;/strong&gt; This role sits at the interface of computational method development, production-scale data analysis, and experimental discovery. You will help turn complex biological data into actionable insights for scientists studying fundamental mechanisms of human disease, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and immune dysfunction.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Collaborate with exceptional scientists and technologists.&lt;/strong&gt; You will work closely with experimentalists, computational scientists, technology center teams, and Core Investigators across Arc and its partner institutions: Stanford, UCSF, and UC Berkeley. This is an opportunity to be part of a highly collaborative environment where bioinformatics is not a downstream service, but a central driver of discovery.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Build systems that matter. &lt;/strong&gt;Beyond analyzing data, you will help create robust, tested, documented, and scalable pipelines that support production-level research. Your work will improve how data flows from sequencing instruments to biological interpretation, helping teams move faster while maintaining scientific rigor and reproducibility.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grow with an ambitious institute.&lt;/strong&gt; Arc is still early in its trajectory, which means this role offers unusual opportunities for ownership, influence, and career growth. You will help shape bioinformatics practices, computational standards, and cross-team workflows as the institute expands.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do science in a culture built for curiosity and collaboration.&lt;/strong&gt; Arc aims to create an environment where excellent science, technical rigor, generosity, and intellectual ambition reinforce one another. For a bioinformatics scientist who enjoys both deep technical work and close scientific partnership, this role offers the chance to help define how modern computational biology can be practiced at institutional scale.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the position&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;https://arcinstitute.org/labs/hsulab&quot;&gt; Hsu Lab&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://arcinstitute.org/labs/konermannlab&quot;&gt;Konermann Lab&lt;/a&gt; are seeking applications for a Scientist in Nucleic Acid Biochemistry at the Arc Institute in Palo Alto, CA, focusing on mechanistic dissection and engineering of Bridge Recombinases—naturally occurring RNA-guided DNA recombinases that we recently discovered and showed can programmably insert, excise, and invert DNA (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07552-4&quot;&gt;Nature, 2024&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adz0276&quot;&gt;Science, 2025&lt;/a&gt;). The candidate will drive the next phase of Bridge Recombinase evolution. Building on our work establishing IS110 and ISCro4 as programmable tools, you will be part of an interdisciplinary team with the goal to engineer bridge RNAs and recombinases for megabase-scale genome modifications, therapeutic gene circuit integration, and scarless disease correction.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this role, you will lead the mechanistic program that underpins this effort. You will design and execute rigorous in vitro assays to mechanistically interrogate how bridge recombinases, in complex with their bridge RNAs, recognize target and donor DNA and catalyze strand exchange across all three recombination modalities—insertion, inversion, and excision. Your work will define the parameters that govern recombinase activity, specificity, and the balance between productive and off-pathway outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are driven by science. The world of science is filled with so many unanswered questions and the opportunity to address these questions brings you purpose.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are a mechanist. You are energized by the prospect of turning a black-box activity into a quantitative model, and you believe that well-designed biochemistry is one of the most powerful ways to guide engineering.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are a collaborator. You love working with people of different backgrounds and brainstorming how hard questions can be broken down and addressed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are intellectually independent and self-motivated to push the boundaries of novel technologies.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are an optimizer. In research, there’s always a race against the clock. You care deeply about making every step of the way as close to perfect as possible but also as quick and efficient as possible.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You build tools. As much as you love answering specific scientific questions, you also love creating assays and platforms that are scalable and useful across many application areas.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this position you will&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lead the mechanistic research program on bridge recombinases, including planning, execution, and analysis of experiments across insertion, inversion, and excision modalities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Purify recombinant bridge recombinases and reconstitute functional ribonucleoprotein complexes with bridge RNAs and target/donor DNA substrates.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Develop and apply quantitative in vitro assays—including kinetic, binding, footprinting, and single-turnover/multi-turnover recombination assays—to dissect substrate recognition, complex assembly, strand exchange, and product release.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Develop higher-throughput biochemical platforms (e.g., plate-based, fluorescence-coupled, or sequencing-based readouts) to enable variant triage and support directed evolution and rational engineering campaigns in the lab.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Partner with structural biologists to design biochemically informed constructs and substrates, interpret cryo-EM and crystallographic data, and close the loop between structure and function.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Advance cell biology efforts by helping to reconcile in vitro activity and specificity with behavior in mammalian cells, including by designing assays that recapitulate cellular activity or constraints&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate closely with the PI on planning and executing scientific research projects, and help shape the broader biochemical strategy of the bridge recombinase program.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mentor Research Associates and work with graduate students and other scientists in the lab.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Develop and provide training to lab personnel as needed, and develop standardized protocols for the lab.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep up-to-date on advances in the field by reading the literature and attending key conferences.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Publish preprints and journal articles; present findings at conferences.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, or a related life sciences or engineering field, with 0-4 years of postdoctoral or equivalent industry experience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Demonstrated expertise in mechanistic biochemistry of nucleic acid–protein complexes, including protein purification and reconstitution of functional RNP or protein–DNA complexes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hands-on experience designing and executing quantitative biochemical assays.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience working with gene editing enzymes that act on DNA—CRISPR-Cas9, recombinases, transposases, nucleases, or integrases—is strongly preferred.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience developing higher-throughput biochemical assays (e.g., plate-based fluorescence readouts, NGS-coupled activity or specificity profiling, barcoded substrate libraries) is a strong plus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mammalian and/or insect cell culture experience preferred.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Conceptual fluency in structural biology (cryo-EM and/or X-ray crystallography) sufficient to collaborate effectively with structural biologists, design constructs and substrates for structural studies, and interpret structural data in a functional context. Hands-on structural experience is welcome but not required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Familiarity with cell-based assays for genome editing activity is a plus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong written and verbal communication skills.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience and enthusiasm for mentoring research trainees, including graduate students and RAs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The successful candidate will be an ambitious self-starter, an innovative and meticulous researcher, and enjoy working in a collaborative and fast-paced team environment.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the position&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are seeking a Senior Research Associate, Neural Cell Production to join the Cellular Models Technology Center for a fixed term of 18 months to produce the stem cell-derived cell types that feed our ADI screening program (neural progenitor cells, neurons, astrocytes, and microglia) reliably and consistently to a high standard. This is a hands-on stem cell production role that requires the consistency, rigor, and reproducibility of a production setting. Beyond differentiation, you will QC each lot using our established pipeline (flow cytometry, proliferation, imaging, and/or functional assays), bank the QC&#39;d cells, and keep complete registration and documentation in Benchling. Cell supply is the upstream foundation of every ADI screen: the reliability, quality, and timeliness of the cells you produce directly determine whether each screen can run and whether its data is interpretable. You will work in close collaboration with the scientists and research associates leading each production workflow to deliver the cells our high-cadence screening calendar depends on. This is a temporary contractor position based onsite 5 days a week in Palo Alto. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;You bring strong process discipline and a track record of reproducible production, ideally from an industry or other high-consistency cell production setting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are accustomed to working across several distinct protocols concurrently: each cell type here has its own workflow, media composition, timeline, and specific requirements, and you are able to learn them thoroughly and transition between them accurately.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You value reproducibility, document your work rigorously, and proactively identify and address sources of variability.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You collaborate effectively, integrate quickly with the team, and establish yourself as a dependable partner.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this position you will&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Master the distinct workflow, media composition, and protocol-specific requirements of each cell type, and transition between them dependably according to upcoming screening needs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collaborate closely with the team members leading each production workflow to deliver the cell production required to support the screens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;QC each lot using the established pipeline: flow cytometry, proliferation, imaging, and/or functional assays.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create banks of QC&#39;d cells and manage their proper registration and documentation in Benchling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maintain iPSC and progenitor cultures (feeding, passaging, expansion, cryopreservation, thawing) and coordinate production timing against the screening calendar.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Follow and help maintain established protocols and SOPs, flagging issues to the workflow leads.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BS degree in relevant field with 4+ years of relevant experience, or MS degree in relevant field with 2+ years of relevant postgraduate experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Substantial experience culturing and maintaining human PSCs and differentiating them into defined cell types (NPCs, neurons, astrocytes, microglia, or similar), with reliable, reproducible results.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Demonstrated ability to execute multiple cell culture protocols with precision and to transition between them accurately, maintaining fidelity to each protocol&#39;s specific requirements (workflow, media, and timeline).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience QCing cells using cellular and/or molecular assays such as flow cytometry, DNA proliferation, or MEAs (experience with one or more of these; not all required).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Excellent aseptic technique and consistent cell-culture practice held to a high, production-type standard.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with cryopreservation, thawing, expansion, and cell banking.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Meticulous documentation and record-keeping; comfort working to a production schedule, and basic data tracking and analysis.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work onsite in our Palo Alto office 5 days per week. Occasional weekend work may be required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preferred Qualifications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Background in an industry iPSC production setting (e.g., cell-products manufacturer, CDMO, or organoid/drug-discovery production group).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience producing 3D brain organoids.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Familiarity with Benchling or comparable ELN systems.&lt;/li&gt;
