Research Associate - Neuron Models
Merge Labs, San Francisco Bay Area
The role
We are seeking a Research Associate with strong expertise in complex in vitro models. This is a highly hands-on position at the core of our experimental work, requiring independence, precision, and the ability to deliver consistent and reproducible high-quality execution across multiple studies. As we continuously develop new models and assays according to the evolving scientific questions, a successful candidate must be a strong learner who can rapidly acquire new technical skills and scientific methodologies.
In this role, you will be essential in building our in vitro team from the ground up. You will partner closely with the group lead to generate iPSC-derived neurons and rodent primary cultures at scale, and help build robust in vitro high-throughput screen pipelines. Your contributions will be essential to driving execution, enabling rapid iteration, and supporting the advancement of next-generation neurotechnology.
