Research Associate in Stem Cell Biology
Research Associate in Stem Cell Biology
FMI - Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research
Basel, Switzerland
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate specializing in stem cell biology to join our dynamic, interdisciplinary team. This role represents a unique collaboration between the Allen Institute for Cell Science (Seattle, USA) and the Liberali Lab at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research and ETH Zurich (Basel, Switzerland).
The successful candidate will contribute significantly to innovative research focused on organoids and tissue organization, leveraging advanced imaging, genome engineering techniques and stem cell technologies.
This position is primarily based in Basel, Switzerland and involves active collaboration and travel to Seattle, USA.
In this role, you will
- Culture and manipulate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and stem cell-derived organoids.
- Design and perform experiments to explore self-organization and morphogenesis in 3D organoid models, particularly through genome engineering and dynamic imaging methodologies.
- Apply innovative experimental approaches to study self-organization and tissue morphogenesis in developing 3D organoid models, especially focusing on dynamical imaging.
- Collaborate closely with cross-institutional and interdisciplinary teams to integrate research efforts and drive scientific discoveries.
About you
Required
- You hold a MSc or a PhD degree in Stem Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Cell Biology, or a closely related discipline.
- You have proven hands-on experience with iPSCs and the generation and maintenance of organoid cultures.
- You are proficient in advanced cell culture methodologies, microscopy, and molecular biology techniques.
- You have excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively in interdisciplinary teams.
Preferred
- You have expertise in genome editing technologies, particularly CRISPR/Cas9, for investigating gene function and cellular mechanisms.
