Lab Manager, Aquaculture

Biohub is the first large-scale initiative bringing frontier AI models, massive compute, and frontier experimental capabilities under one roof. We're building a general-purpose system to accelerate scientific discovery, integrating frontier AI models, biological foundation models, and lab capabilities, with the ultimate goal of curing disease. Our technology powers scientists around the world, translating AI capabilities into tools that accelerate research everywhere.

Through our multi-dimensional imaging program, we build imaging tools that capture life across scales — from single proteins to whole organisms — revealing how proteins and cells function, communicate, and assemble into living systems. These observations are laying the groundwork for a new generation of AI models that can predict cellular behavior and guide the development of better treatments for widespread diseases.

Our work brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine.

• Pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments
• Enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideas
• Facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond

We are a team of passionate individuals powered by technology, guided by scientific research, and driven by collaboration, working toward a mission to cure or prevent all disease.

Biohub is seeking an Aquaculture Lab Manager to lead the day-to-day operation of its aquatic model-organism husbandry facility, ensuring the safe, efficient, and compliant husbandry of zebrafish and other aquatic species that underpin the Imaging Grand Challenge's research programs.

This role oversees the aquaculture system end to end — water quality, recirculating system performance, fish health and colony management, equipment readiness, and regulatory/EH&S compliance — and works closely with researchers, scientists, and platform teams to ensure the facility reliably supports ongoing and upcoming experiments.

This position is well-suited for a candidate with hands-on aquaculture or aquatic-model-organism facility management experience who can plan and execute semi-complex laboratory activities independently, translate operational objectives into concrete plans, and mentor junior lab staff.

• Plans, coordinates, and manages the aquaculture facility's day-to-day activities; manages schedules and resources to ensure efficient, uninterrupted operation of the aquatic facility.
• Works with researchers and scientists to understand laboratory and husbandry resource needs for the aquaculture environment; collects and organizes requests for additional equipment, feed, and supplies, and obtains requested items.
• Ensures readiness and availability of all aquaculture resources — including recirculating water systems, tanks, filtration and monitoring equipment, feed, and reagent chemicals; manages inventory of supplies and recommends efficiencies.
• Manages equipment moves and maintenance (e.g., tank cleaning, filter changes, system defrosting/descaling, sensor calibration) to keep the facility running at expected capacity.
• Works with EH&S consultants and/or Platform Managers, or independently, to develop and implement EH&S solutions for aquaculture-specific safety challenges (e.g., water chemistry, biosafety, waste handling); monitors equipment and activities to ensure adherence to safety protocols in compliance with federal, state, and organizational standards.
• Manages laboratory service contracts for assigned aquaculture equipment (e.g., recirculating…
