Position Summary

The Sagasti lab seeks to hire a staff research associate to contribute to studies of intermediate filaments in neurons and epithelial cells, using zebrafish as a model. In this role, you will apply state-of-the-art genome engineering techniques to fluorescently label endogenous proteins in zebrafish and use live imaging to visualize their behavior during development. You will also help maintain zebrafish lines essential to the project and contribute to experimental design, data interpretation, and ongoing scientific discussions. This position offers the opportunity to develop expertise across molecular genetics, confocal microscopy, embryo microinjection, quantitative imaging, and zebrafish husbandry. We are seeking a curious, motivated scientist who is excited to engage with primary literature, master new techniques, and contribute to discovery-driven research.
