Research Laboratory Technician - UCSF

The Raymond Cho/Jeffrey Cheng UCSF Dermatology lab is actively seeking a highly motivated, highly skilled basic science research laboratory technician. This position is open immediately and is meant as a strong stepping stone to MD or PhD level training, with lead authorships achieved within a 2-year timeframe.

Our lab studies human and mouse model inflammatory skin rashes on the single-cell level (single cell RNA-sequencing, sequencing based protein epitope analysis, and highly multiplexed immunofluorescence) to improve molecular classification and treatment response prediction.

The ideal technician candidate would possess a strong immunology background and be independent and self-motivated, detail oriented, and possess strong written and verbal communication skills. We expect the appointee to participate in and receive authorship in scientific articles and to contribute to the intellectual environment of the laboratory, in addition to supporting and managing the lab. He/she must be able to plan, conduct, and oversee experiments, independently develop and optimize experimental protocols, and interpret data and results.
