What are the typical responsibilities and work environment for an iPSC specialist?

As an IPSC Specialist, you can expect to spend most of your time in a laboratory setting, performing cell culture, characterization, and genetic manipulation of induced pluripotent stem cells. Daily tasks may include maintaining and monitoring cell lines, conducting molecular and cellular assays, recording experimental data, and troubleshooting technical issues. The role often involves close collaboration with research scientists, lab managers, and sometimes cross-functional project teams. You'll need to adhere to rigorous safety and quality standards, as well as keep detailed records for research accuracy and reproducibility. Many IPSC specialists find satisfaction in contributing to pioneering medical research and have opportunities to advance into senior scientist or lab management positions.

What is an iPSC?

An iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cell) job typically involves working with reprogrammed adult cells that have been converted into a pluripotent state. Professionals in this field may conduct research, develop therapies, or produce stem cell lines for medical and scientific applications. Roles can vary across academia, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries, requiring expertise in cell culture, differentiation techniques, and genetic analysis.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the iPSC position, and why are they important?

To excel as an IPSC (Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell) Specialist, a strong background in cellular biology, laboratory techniques, and relevant academic qualifications such as a degree in biomedical sciences or a related field is essential. Experience with cell culture systems, microscopy, PCR, and specialized software like FlowJo or similar laboratory information management systems is often required. Excellent attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills are vital for ensuring research quality and effective collaboration. These skills enable accurate cell line development, reliable data collection, and contribute to advancements in regenerative medicine or related research fields.

Research Associate - MiND iPSC & Screening Platform

Van Andel Institute

Van, TX • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 28 days ago

Job description

Van Andel Institute (VAI), a world-class biomedical research institute, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is dedicated to improving human health. We are pioneers in the fight against cancer, Parkinson's, and other diseases. We are committed to inspiring the next generation of scientists and educators.

SUMMARY

The West Michigan Neurodegenerative Diseases (MiND) Program at Van Andel Institute (VAI) is seeking to hire a full-time Research Associate to be a key part of our Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) & Screening Platform. This research associate will work with MiND Program Director, Dr. Erin Williams, to support the continued development of the MiND Program's high-content imaging platform and to help establish well-defined pipelines for culturing, reprogramming, and differentiating patient-derived human iPSCs. Both platforms will enable researchers at VAI to study living human brain cells to dissect key neurodegenerative disease phenotypes and mechanisms.

For more information about the MiND Program and the neurodegeneration research currently being done at VAI, please visit https://www.vai.org/research/collaborations/west-michigan-neurodegenerative-diseases-mind-program/

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Must possess a Master's or doctoral degree in biological sciences, focusing on neuroscience, biochemistry, cell biology, and/or molecular biology, or related biomedical fields

  • 2-5 years of hands-on biology-related experience at the lab bench

  • Good oral and written communication skills

  • Excellent organizational skills

  • A hardworking individual who can work independently and in a team environment

  • Experience with cell culture, specifically iPSCs, would be preferred

  • Gene-editing experience using CRISPR-Cas9 technology would be desirable

  • Experience working with standard molecular and cell biology techniques would be desirable

  • Experience with fluorescent confocal microscopy and image analysis would be preferred

  • Knowledge of molecular biology, cell biology, and/or neuroscience would be an asset

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Culturing, reprogramming, differentiating, and general maintenance of human iPSCs under sterile conditions

  • Characterizing human iPSC cultures using various cellular and molecular biology techniques (biochemical analysis, molecular cloning, plasmid preparation, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, confocal microscopy, etc.)

  • Train researchers on how to work with iPSCs, including training on maintenance and differentiation of human iPSCs

  • Support the high-content imaging platform by designing and performing phenotypic screens, using gene-editing technology and small molecule libraries, on a variety of cell types, including iPSCs and live cells

  • Use AI/machine learning-based software to characterize and quantify existing and novel disease phenotypes in iPSC-based models

  • Work in close partnership with the MiND NeuroGenomes & Brain Bank initiatives to understand new genetic variants associated with neurodegenerative disease

  • Upkeep of laboratory equipment (tissue culture hoods, incubators, microscopes, etc.)

  • Organization and upkeep of lab databases

HOW TO APPLY

Interested candidates should submit a single PDF file containing the following items:

  • A brief cover letter outlining your research experience and interests, and how you might contribute to the MiND iPSC & Screening Platform.

  • A recent Curriculum Vitae.

  • A list of 2-3 individuals and their contact details who have agreed to act as references.

Inquiries and questions can be directed to Dr. Erin Williams (MiND Program Director; erin.williams@vai.org) or Natalie Hartford (Human Resources; natalie.hartford@vai.org).
