You are invited to apply for a position at the Shou Lab in the Basic Sciences Division at Fred Hutch. We are interested in using experimental biology to quantitatively examine “cooperation,” because cooperation can be found virtually everywhere: between different cell types (e.g. our body), different individuals (e.g. ant colonies), or different species (e.g. flower-pollinator symbiosis). How can cooperation survive the invasion of cheaters that take but not give? How does cooperation evolve? We plan to study cooperation initially using an engineered system in which two complementary types of yeast cells can only survive when both types are present.
The incumbent will perform a project related to evolution. The incumbent will also be responsible for making common reagents for the lab and participating in daily activities and duties of the lab. Finally, the incumbent will aid in the completion of other ongoing projects in the lab as needed. The incumbent will have opportunities to present substantial research results at conferences and gain authorship in research articles.
The lab will start its move to University College London at the end of 2020 or early 2021. The incumbent will need to help with the move to London and work for one or more years in London.
This position is ideal for some one who wants to gain more research experience before going to graduate school and wants to explore the exciting cities of Seattle and London.
A bachelor's degree is required and at least one year of laboratory experience. Strong quantitative skills including basic (high school) mathematics knowledge are required as is the ability to learn new things and to be highly organized. Comfort with computer programming and the ability to quantitatively analyze datasets independently is a big plus.
Applicants must submit a cover letter (stating why you are interested in the position and your educational/career goals), resume, at least one reference letter from your primary research adviser and the contact information for two other professional references.

Our laboratory focuses on how gene regulation, chromatin structure, and nuclear organization are linked, with a special emphasis on changes that occur with differentiation. This is a part-time position where effort is negotiable depending on the candidates’ skills and needs. The person in this position will be the lead on a collaborative project to define all cis-acting regulatory sequences on a genome-wide basis. The focus of this work is the isolation of defined populations of hematopoietic cells at defined stages of development and differentiation with the goal of subjecting them to a variety of molecular analyses. Samples will be obtained from wildtype and mutant mice, at baseline, and while recovering from stress. The candidate will prepare samples for analysis by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). This work will require managing a mouse colony as well as isolating and analyzing mouse tissues.
The research technician will work under the direct supervision by the principal investigators and be working with outside collaborators. This individual will be the sole Fred Hutch person doing bench work on this project and will need to work semi-independently and be adept at balancing responsibilities. To be successful in this laboratory the technician will need to work fairly autonomously and take the lead on trouble-shooting. Excellent communication, documentation and organization skills are essential.
Required:
Preferred:
Comfort, and being facile with flow cytometry, including optimizing antibody staining and data analysis. Having job experience with this would be a major benefit.
Comfort with basic mouse husbandry, genotyping and isolation of organs. Having job experience with this would be a major benefit.
Tissue culture experience.

The Brent lab is seeking a Research Technician IV. In this position, you will contribute to understanding how cell signaling systems carry information and the causes and consequences of non-genetic phenotypic variation in signal and response. Specifically, you will lead work on design and construction of "controllers", complex artificial systems allowing chemically tunable variation-suppressed expression of genes in mammalian cells induced by different small molecules.
You will also be involved in/ help alpha test our efforts to develop Augmented Reality (AR) methods to aid biological research. That work applies original engineering approaches and custom-built hardware/ software devices to increase the performance and add new capabilities to contemporary AR devices. Our approach has combined "analytical" approaches to computer vision and object sensing, as well as complementary application of trained deep neural networks (NNs) to provide the same functions and guidance. The work benefits from 25+ years of experience by PI and Current Protocols founders in providing procedural guidance.
Like the controller project, the explicit aim of this AR work is to assist experimentation. If these projects are successful, your work will have contributed to accelerating the pace of scientific discovery, and democratizing access to biomedical methods worldwide.
For this position, we are hoping to find an extraordinary and dedicated individual. The lab is a multidisciplinary environment and offers a number of intellectual growth paths by which scientists willing to engage can continue to develop scientifically. This position will support research activities that include but are not limited to:
