We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Research Technician. In this role, the successful candidate Translational Aging Neurogenetics Laboratory (TANGL), Center for Human Genetics and Genomics & Department of Neurology, Principal Investigator:
Anil R. Wadhwani, MD, PhD. TANGL is seeking an experienced Research Technician to help establish and support our experimental program in human stem cell models of brain aging and neurodegenerative disease. Our laboratory studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms that shape brain aging, Alzheimer's disease, other tauopathies, and cognitive resilience. We combine human genetics and epigenomics, biomarkers, computational approaches, and experimental models to understand why some people remain resilient despite aging or disease.

The Research Technician will take substantial responsibility for the laboratory's human iPSC platform, including cell culture, quality control, banking, differentiation workflows, experimental execution, and laboratory organization. This position is well suited for a technically strong researcher interested in a long-term path in laboratory management, academic research, biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry research, or additional graduate training.
