Job description

Description
FULL TIME ASSISTANT RESEARCH SCIENTIST
New York University Tandon School of Engineering
The Hubbell Research Group in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at NYU Tandon School of Engineering (https://engineering.nyu.edu/) is seeking to hire a Full Time Assistant Research Scientist with experience in bioengineering research to work on an interdisciplinary project.
New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States, and the Tandon School of Engineering, located in Brooklyn, NY, is deeply committed to excellence in teaching and learning. Tandon fosters student and faculty innovation and entrepreneurship that make a difference in the world. The Hubbell Research Group focuses on developing cutting-edge biomaterials and protein engineering to investigate regenerative medicine and immunotherapeutics.
Responsibilities:
Candidates will be responsible for the development of biomaterials and protein engineering. They are expected to have a strong background in biomedical and/or biomolecular engineering, biochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering and/or materials design. Duties include:
  • Laboratory Maintenance: Oversee the day-to-day operations of the laboratory, including equipment maintenance, inventory management, and cleanliness protocols. Ensure compliance with safety regulations and best practices.
  • Experiment Support: Assist researchers with setting up experiments, preparing solutions, and conducting routine laboratory procedures. Troubleshoot technical issues as they arise and provide guidance to lab members as needed.
  • Data Management: Maintain accurate records of experimental procedures, results, and observations. Organize data in electronic databases and assist with data analysis as required.
  • Procurement and Budgeting: Coordinate the ordering of supplies and reagents, track expenditures, and manage the lab budget effectively. Identify cost-saving opportunities and liaise with vendors to negotiate favorable pricing.
  • Training and Supervision: Provide training to new lab members on laboratory techniques, safety protocols, and equipment usage. Supervise the work of undergraduate students or interns assigned to the lab.
  • Compliance and Documentation: Ensure adherence to institutional guidelines, regulatory requirements, and ethical standards in all laboratory activities. Maintain documentation related to safety training, equipment calibration, and protocol approvals.

The successful candidate will be driven, creative and team-oriented with a passion for computationally designed biomaterials and biocatalysts. It is expected that the candidate will work with others on interdisciplinary research projects, carry out assigned lab and administrative responsibilities, be an efficient experimentalist, and be a good lab and team member. Effective communication skills, especially note-taking, are required.
Salary range
In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary for this position is $62,000 depending on the candidate's experience and qualification.
Expected start date and period of employment
Expected start date is: 09/01/26. The position will be 12 months with a potential for extension.
Qualifications
Candidates should have at least a BS biomedical and/or biomolecular engineering, biochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, or related field and demonstrated expertise and research experience in one of the areas described above. Previous experience working in a laboratory setting, preferably in a research or academic environment. Familiarity with laboratory techniques, instrumentation, and safety procedures. Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask and prioritize responsibilities effectively for coordination of administrative and lab responsibilities.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment. Proficiency in basic computer applications (e.g., Microsoft Office, data analysis software). Demonstrated attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
Candidates will be required to present eligibility to work in the United States.
