Life Science Research Professional 2

Stanford University is seeking a Life Science Research Professional 2 (LSRP2) to support research activities in the Seeholzer Lab within the Department of Neurobiology, School of Medicine. The LSRP2 will contribute to ongoing research projects through a combination of experimental work, mouse colony support, laboratory operations, and regulatory compliance activities, working closely with the Principal Investigator and laboratory members.

The Seeholzer Lab studies how sensory epithelial cells in peripheral tissues, such as the airways, detect environmental stimuli and communicate with the nervous system to drive protective physiological responses. The laboratory is a collaborative, supportive, and growing research environment focused on combining animal models, tissue-based methods, and imaging approaches to address fundamental questions in sensory biology.

This position is well suited for an experienced research professional who enjoys hands-on experimental work, supporting laboratory infrastructure, and contributing to the development of a new research program. The LSRP2 will play an important role in maintaining laboratory operations, supporting mouse-based research, assisting with regulatory and safety compliance, and providing technical training and support to laboratory members, particularly undergraduate researchers. The position reports directly to the Principal Investigator and works in coordination with departmental administrative staff and university support offices.

Duties include:
•  Support ongoing research projects through hands-on experimental work, including tissue processing, immunohistochemistry, imaging, and analysis of mouse tissues.
•  Manage and maintain the laboratory mouse colony in coordination with the Principal Investigator and lab members, including supporting breeding strategies and ensuring availability of appropriate experimental animals.
•  Contribute to development, refinement, and execution of experimental protocols, and assist with interpretation of experimental results in collaboration with the research team.
•  Work with shared research resources, core facilities, and campus support units to coordinate experimental workflows and troubleshoot technical issues.
•  Assist with preparation of research materials for manuscripts and presentations by organizing and verifying experimental data, figures, and methods documentation under PI supervision.
•  Provide technical training and day-to-day guidance to undergraduate researchers and new lab members in core laboratory techniques and best practices.
•  Support laboratory operations by maintaining supplies, coordinating routine equipment maintenance, and assisting with purchasing and vendor communication in collaboration with administrative staff.
•  Assist with laboratory compliance and safety activities, including maintaining chemical inventories, supporting animal and chemical safety documentation, and coordinating required trainings and inspections with university offices.
•  Help ensure smooth day-to-day laboratory operations through general lab support, organization of shared spaces, and coordination of routine logistics.
