As of Jun 9, 2026, the average hourly pay for cell biology in the United States is $35.51, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $29.09 and $40.38 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Cell Biology vs Microbiologist?

AspectCell BiologyMicrobiologist
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Biology, Cell Biology, or related fields; often advanced degrees for research rolesBachelor's or Master's in Microbiology, Biology, or related fields; certifications like ASM may be preferred
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, universities, biotech companies, healthcare settingsLaboratories, hospitals, public health agencies, research institutions
Industry UsageAcademic research, biotech, pharmaceuticals, healthcarePublic health, disease control, food safety, research

Cell Biologists focus on understanding the structure and function of cells, often working in research and academia. Microbiologists study microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi, frequently working in health and safety sectors. While both roles require biology expertise and lab work, their specific focus areas and applications differ significantly.

What is cell biology?

Cell biology is the scientific study of cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms. This field explores how cells function, grow, divide, communicate, and interact with their environment. Cell biologists investigate the molecular mechanisms that control cellular processes, which has important applications in medicine, genetics, biotechnology, and understanding diseases. The research in cell biology helps us comprehend fundamental life processes and contributes to advancements in health and disease treatment.

What are some common challenges faced by cell biologists when working in a research lab environment?

Cell biologists often encounter challenges such as troubleshooting experimental protocols, maintaining the viability of delicate cell cultures, and interpreting complex data from advanced imaging or molecular techniques. Collaboration with colleagues from other specialties, such as biochemists or geneticists, is essential for multidisciplinary projects, which can sometimes require extra coordination and communication. Additionally, keeping up with rapidly evolving technology and literature is crucial for success and career growth in cell biology research.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Cell Biologist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Cell Biologist, you need a strong background in biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, typically supported by a relevant degree (BSc, MSc, or PhD). Proficiency with laboratory techniques such as microscopy, cell culture, PCR, and data analysis software is commonly required. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for designing experiments and collaborating with research teams. These skills and qualities are essential for advancing scientific understanding and driving innovation in biomedical research.

Job description

A Bit About Us
We are Arcadia Science, an evolutionary biology company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to turn natural innovations into real-world solutions by developing systematic and quantitative approaches to leveraging biology for therapeutics R&D. We share our research as openly as possible to accelerate discovery and make our work broadly useful.
The Opportunity
We're closing the gap between biological data and biological understanding. Our Validation team does this by closing the design-build-test-learn loop through lab validation across diverse organisms. Read more about our work through our publications.
We are seeking an Evolutionary Cell Biology Fellow to join our Validation team for a 3-month fellowship. This is an ideal opportunity for scientists in the final stages of their PhD or postdoc training who want to experience industry research in an open science environment working with diverse organisms, or for researchers excited to apply cell biology techniques across the tree of life.
Evolutionary Cell Biology Fellows will generate phenotypic and genotypic data to compare cellular features across organisms. Because we use evolution to select the best organism to study each biological question, fellows will work with diverse, often non-traditional organisms and cell types. Fellows will contribute to a defined project with the goal of publishing their work openly by the end of the fellowship.
Areas of Focus
We are looking for candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Cell-based or organism-based assay development and optimization
- Live cell imaging, high-content screening, or other high-dimensional phenotyping approaches
- Diverse cellular organism and system development and/or utilization (including non-model organisms)
- Molecular biology techniques (cloning, transformation, PCR, genetic manipulation, protein detection)
- Protocol development and adaptation for new organisms or cell types
- Comparative analysis between species driven by evolutionary information
- Quantitative approaches to phenotypic measurement
What You'll Do
  • Develop, adapt, and optimize experimental workflows for gathering phenotypic data across diverse cellular and organismal systems
  • Validate platform tools and test predictions using cell-based or organism-based assays
  • Troubleshoot experimental challenges independently and creatively
  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to contribute to shared research goals
  • Keep detailed experimental records and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Publish results openly by the end of the fellowship

Qualifications
  • PhD in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field
  • Demonstrated hands-on expertise in cell or organism-based assay development
  • Proficiency with core cell biology tools and techniques
  • Comfort with core molecular biology tools and techniques
  • Comfort working with diverse cellular organisms and systems
  • Familiarity with data analysis using Python or R is preferred
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

$8,000 - $12,000 a month
Fellows will receive a competitive monthly stipend. Travel and relocation support is available for candidates relocating temporarily to the Bay Area.
What We Look For
The first thing we look for is technical talent at the leading edge of a field. To us, this means independent and generative scientists doing basic research that has the potential to produce evidence challenging standard practices. This is true for all of our roles: whether someone is an individual contributor or a people manager, we want researchers pushing their field forward.
We're looking for hands-on, inventive scientists with deep experience in cell biology and a strong interest in using biological diversity as a tool for discovery. The ideal candidate is energized by exploring new biology, skilled at troubleshooting, and excited to work in a collaborative, open research environment.
We try to develop novel approaches for every aspect of our science, and everyone on our team is expected to innovate in their domain. This is not easy, and won't be for everyone. We believe a culture where this is possible stems from how we act.
Location
This fellowship is on-site at our Emeryville, California lab and office for the full 3-month duration. For qualified candidates, we are willing and able to sponsor visas and provide a travel/relocation stipend if needed.
Application Process
Interested applicants should apply using the link. We expect to review applications at a monthly cadence.
Due to anticipated volume, we may not be able to respond to all applicants. If you advance beyond initial review, we will let you know.
