The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) (https://www.czbiohub.org/sf/) is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.
Our Vision
Diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.
The Opportunity
The dream of Loic Royer’s interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, optical engineers, and biologists is to map the emergence of cell types and states during embryonic development, as exemplified by our recent multimodal Atlas of Vertebrate Development (Lange et al.). To this end, the Royer Group designs, builds, and uses state-of-the-art light-sheet fluorescence microscopes to do live, volumetric, multi-color, and in-toto imaging of zebrafish embryonic development. This requires teamwork with expertise spanning zebrafish rearing, generation of transgenic lines, genomics, sample preparation and imaging, optics, bioimage analysis, and processing. We seek a Research Assistant with a thirst for learning, a strong sense of initiative, a robust work ethic, and a taste for interdisciplinary work. A successful candidate will help maintain our fish stock, conduct standard molecular biology and omics protocols, and perform imaging experiments.
