Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Research Associate will develop platform technologies for monitoring and manipulating mammalian cells using molecular biology and genomics techniques. They will also assist with research planning, data interpretation, and the management of laboratory resources.
Candidates must hold a BS/MS degree in a relevant biological field and possess at least 2 years of experience in molecular biology and cell culture. Strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to pursuing a PhD program are required.
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.
Unlike academia, our scientists have long-term funding and industry-like resources. Unlike industry, they're free to pursue high-risk, long-term research without commercial pressures. Arc'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.
Our two Institute Initiatives reflect this model in action:
More than 300 Arconauts work together at our Palo Alto headquarters, backed by substantial long-term philanthropic funding.
We are seeking a Research Associate II to join the Horns Laboratory at the Arc Institute. In this position, you will contribute to developing the next generation of platform technologies for monitoring and manipulating mammalian cells, and gain expertise in molecular biology, cell engineering, and genomics. You will have the opportunity to work with world-leading scientists in relevant fields, including single-cell genomics, computational biology, and molecular engineering.
This position offers a unique chance for a highly motivated and curious researcher to work on cutting-edge molecular technologies at the intersection of synthetic biology and genomics. Some of the relevant projects extend from our recent work in developing and using cellular RNA exporters to non-destructively monitor cell dynamics and deliver mRNA between cells.
This is a great stepping stone for candidates looking to enroll in a PhD program in the future, as you will be involved in designing projects from the ground up and co-authoring papers. The ideal candidate must have a strong background in molecular biology and mammalian cell culture, and will learn to apply their skills to building novel molecular technologies.
Please submit:
The base salary for this position is $75,900. This amount does not include benefits or other forms of compensation.
Arc is a full-stack institute for AI and biology research, dedicated to understanding the root causes of complex diseases. Arc’s investigators are supported by long-term funding and freedom to pursue bold ideas.
