Janelia Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Virginia, where scientists pursue fundamental questions in neuroscience and imaging. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) launched Janelia in 2006, establishing an intellectually distinctive environment for scientists to do creative, collaborative, hands-on work. Our integrated teams of biologists, computational scientists, and tool-builders pursue a small number of scientific questions with potential for transformative impact. We share our methods, results, and tools with the scientific community. It is a uniquely innovative and collaborative atmosphere that reflects HHMI's reputation for excellence. Summary: Do you have expertise working with immortalized cells, primary cell culture, stem cells, and organoids? Do you have expertise in the design and use of state-of-the-art genome engineering techniques for cell-based studies? Do you have experience leading a team to help researchers achieve their scientific goals? If so, then this brand-new position is for you!

These two departments are instrumental in supporting research labs that develop molecular tools for cell based and in-vivo studies, labs that study how the brain enables flexible behavior, and labs that study how cells work and communicate across scales to build and maintain organs and organisms. The ideal candidate will have a BS (PhD preferred) in a biological science with at least five years of cell culture focused lab experience and three years of personnel management. Candidates should have direct experience with the design and implementation of CRISPR based genome engineering techniques in cells and organoids. Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
