Job Summary

The laboratory of Dr. Huebner is recruiting for a Staff Research Associate (SRA). The successful SRA will immediately contribute to our research in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models and will be responsible for conducting hypothesis-driven research projects using new CRISPR approaches to study cell fate decisions in multicellular human iPSC models and multiomics across space and time. Under supervision, the researcher will be responsible for contributing to NIH-funded projects using iPSC cells, iPSC directed differentiation, primary cells, and organoid culture as well as single cell multiomics approaches. The researcher will participate in collaborative and interdisciplinary efforts to build human iPSC-based models to uncover the molecular basis of developmental processes and disease states. Additionally, the researcher will be part of a team that performs complex experiments including using genome scale screens, genetic interaction mapping and genome engineering to better understand the genetic and epigenetic causes underlying cancer initiation and progression. The researcher will be supervised by senior scientists and will work with other research associates as part of a collaborative team.
