Job description

The Department of Radiation Oncology mission is to bring the most advanced care to our patients by being at the cutting edge of research and technology. Using the most state-of-the-art imaging systems and radiation delivery platforms in the world, our highly integrated team of physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, nurses, and radiation therapists share a commitment to provide exceptional and compassionate care for patients. The Ross Laboratory at Stanford University is seeking a Basic Life Research Scientist at 80% FTE. The Ross Lab is led by Jason Ross, MD, PhD, and is situated within the Stanford University School of Medicine's Department of Radiation Oncology. The laboratory studies normal and malignant stem cells in the context of aging and cancer. In this 80% FTE position, the Research Scientist will establish the laboratory’s experimental protocols, technical capabilities, and regulatory framework, and will support the scientific work of the group across stem cell biology, immunology, and cancer biology. This position offers the opportunity to work closely with the principal investigator and lab members in an interactive, supportive, and inclusive lab environment. The Research Scientist will be responsible for designing and executing experiments, preparing and maintaining regulatory protocols, and serving as the laboratory's point of contact with regulatory offices and core facilities, developing and validating assays and experimental protocols, assisting other laboratory members with the design and execution of their experiments, and guiding the analysis and presentation of data. In addition, the individual will work alongside the PI to serve as a mentor to junior lab members, including students and postdoctoral fellows. The individual will ensure the efficient operations of the lab, including maximizing the budget and the procurement and care of major equipment. The individual will report to and work closely with the PI in these activities and responsibilities. This position is for a 1 year fixed-term, with the possibility of renewal based on funding, performance, and operational needs. The expected pay range for this position is $94,000 to $100,000 per annum at 100% FTE. Stanford University has provided a pay range representing its good faith estimate of what the university reasonably expects to pay for the position. The pay offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including (but not limited to) the experience and qualifications of the selected candidate including equivalent years since their applicable education, field or discipline; departmental budget availability; internal equity; among other factors.
