The Barber lab (https://dbarberlab.ucsf.edu ) in the Department of Cell and Tissue Biology on the Parnassus Campus is seeking a Staff Research Associate to join our group and contribute to new and ongoing projects. Our biochemistry and cell biology lab primarily focuses on how intracellular pH dynamics regulates cell functions and behaviors. Our studies are across scales from molecules to recombinant proteins to clonal cells to organoids, and they interface with diseases, predominantly cancers and neurodegenerative disorders.
The successful candidate is anticipated to work as a part of teams with current postdoctoral fellows and graduate students as well independently on autonomous projects with PI supervision. Experimental skillsets will include but not be limited to 1) generating recombinant proteins and biochemical assays, 2) the cell biology of clonal normal, cancer, and stem cells, and 3) maintaining and phenotypic and genomic analysis including RNAseq of organoids from clonal cells as well as human biopsies. Expertise with at least one of these skillsets is required. The successful candidate will in part also be selected based on their initiative for independent thinking and engagement in conceptual and experimental learning.
