Subject: Research Technician Position @ Konermann lab in Stanford medicine and Arc institute






    Hi there! The Konermann Lab at Stanford Medicine and Arc Institute<https://arcinstitute.org/> is looking to hire a Research Technician to start as soon as possible, or this summer if the candidate is graduating at the end of this school year. The Technician will immediately join a fast-moving project on the development of CRISPR-based tools for applications in stem cells and neuronal cell types. The Technician will collaborate closely with a graduate student (Jingyi Wei) and Prof. Konermann to conduct high-throughput CRISPR transcriptional perturbation experiments in human stem cells and stem cell-derived neurons and glia.



    This project builds on recent high-profile work in genome-scale CRISPR screening (Konermann et al., Nature 2015<https://www.nature.com/articles/nature14136>; Biering et al., Biorxiv 2021<https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.04.22.440848>), transcriptome engineering (Konermann et al., Cell 2018<https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2018.02.033>), CasRx guide design tools (Wei et al., Biorxiv 2021<https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.09.14.460134>), and will involve development or applications of new CRISPR tools and single-cell sequencing technologies.



    This position is well suited for new grads looking to gain additional first hand research experience before grad school or med school. You’d learn a wide variety of cutting-edge techniques while participating in a project at the intersection of genomics, technology development, stem cell biology and neuroscience. Past experience with molecular biology techniques and cell culture would be ideal, but we’ll train you and teach you everything you need to know. If you’re interested, contact me, Jingyi Wei, at weijingy at stanford.edu<mailto:weijingy at stanford.edu>, with a CV or even just a note. We’re really excited about having another person join us on this exciting project!

Thank you so much!



Best wishes,
