Apply for Vacancy for Laboratory Manager at Johns Hopkins University in the USA. The category for this job is Laboratory and Research.

Purpose

The Laboratory Manager will oversee a unique High-throughput Phenotypic Screening (HPS) Core facility designed to enable large-scale chemical and genetic screens in whole organisms  and complex 3D cell culture models. Also, HPS Core instrumentation allows living disease models to be placed at the start, rather than the end, of the drug discovery pipeline; a strategy that can circumvent the high rate of failure attending late-stage tests in animal models and the clinic, decreasing the cost and increasing the pace of drug development.

Duties:

• Manage daily operations of the HPS Core facility, enabling large-scale discovery projects of lead investigators and their trainees by assisting with high-throughput assay development, optimization, and implementation.
• Moreover, manage HPS Core user billing regarding fee-for-service operations and collaborations.
