Associate Staff Scientist (Warmflash) Endometrial biology (JR224612)

Here’s the reformatted job posting in clean, semantic HTML:

Join the Warmflash Lab in the Division of Reproductive Sciences at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center to study human endometrial biology and regeneration.

About the role

The Warmflash Lab is seeking a highly motivated Associate Staff Scientist to contribute to research on human endometrial biology, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms of endometrial regeneration and repair. This position offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic, collaborative environment using advanced stem cell and organoid models.

Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and analyze experiments using human stem cell-derived organoids and other in vitro models of the endometrium.
• Apply molecular biology techniques (e.g., CRISPR, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, single-cell sequencing) to investigate endometrial development, regeneration, and disease.
• Develop and optimize protocols for endometrial organoid culture, differentiation, and functional assays.
• Collaborate with computational biologists to analyze large-scale genomic and transcriptomic datasets.
• Present findings at lab meetings, departmental seminars, and scientific conferences.
• Assist in writing manuscripts, grant proposals, and progress reports.
• Maintain detailed laboratory records and ensure compliance with institutional biosafety and ethical guidelines.
• Train and supervise junior lab members (students, technicians) in experimental techniques and data analysis.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related field.
• Strong background in stem cell biology, organoid culture, or reproductive biology.
• Proficiency in molecular biology techniques (e.g., cloning, qPCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry).
• Experience with CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, next-generation sequencing, or single-cell analysis is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with bioinformatics tools (e.g., R, Python, or Unix-based analysis) is a plus.
• Track record of peer-reviewed publications in relevant fields.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package, including health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Retirement savings plan with employer matching.
• Generous paid time off and holidays.
• Professional development opportunities, including funding for conferences and workshops.
• Access to state-of-the-art core facilities and resources at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
• Collaborative and inclusive research environment.
