The Opportunity The Balla group is building an interdisciplinary team of researchers with experience in molecular biology, microscopy, virology, and immunology, to study virus infection using zebrafish as a model system. As part of this effort, we are looking for an energetic, curious, and team-oriented Research Associate to join our collaborative work on organismal virus infection biology. The candidate will expand the group’s efforts to develop a versatile toolbox of genetically modified zebrafish and viruses to quantify virus infection dynamics. The tools we develop will enable our team to study immune responses at the whole-organism level. What You'll Do Under the mentorship and supervision of senior researchers, plan and execute hands-on laboratory procedures to generate transgenic zebrafish, develop more efficient approaches for genetic modification, and deploy new molecular tools in diverse experimental contexts Rapidly learn and apply molecular biology lab techniques and zebrafish husbandry in an active research environment with access to state-of-the-art resources Troubleshoot protocols, maintain detailed records, analyze results, and contribute ideas to research projects What You'll Bring Essential – Bachelor's degree in a life science with 1 year of molecular biology lab experience 1 year of experience working with zebrafish 1 year of molecular biology lab experience Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail Must be a dedicated team player who can also work independently Strong verbal and written communication skills Nice to have - Master’s degree in a life science 3 years experience in molecular lab techniques Experience with genomics The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Networkrequires all employees, contractors, and interns, regardless of work location or type of role, to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, including a booster vaccine dose, if eligible, by their start date. Those who are unable to get vaccinated or obtain a booster dose because of a disability, or who choose not to be vaccinated due to a sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance must have an approved exception prior to their start date. Compensation Research Associate I = $52,000 - $77,000 Research Associate II = $67,000 - $99,000 New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. To determine starting pay, we consider multiple job-related factors including a candidate’s skills, education and experience, market demand, business needs, and internal parity. We may also adjust this range in the future based on market data. Your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range during the hiring process. #J-18808-Ljbffr
