The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Virginia, where scientists pursue fundamental questions in the life sciences. Our integrated teams of biologists, computational scientists, and tool-builders innovate research practices and technologies to solve biology’s deepest mysteries. HHMI launched Janelia in 2006, establishing an intellectually enriching environment for scientists to do creative, collaborative, hands-on work. We share our methods, results, and tools with the scientific community.
About Janelia
Janelia Research Campus is an HHMI research institute built to tackle scientific problems beyond what any single lab or company could sustain. Janelia's next decade centers on two big bets: mapping how a vertebrate brain produces complex behavior, and building “AI-in-the-Loop Discovery,” where scientists and AI work together to analyze data, design experiments, and drive discovery at a new scale.
Larval zebrafish and Danionella are key to the first bet. Zebrafish are where Janelia is building the whole-brain imaging pipelines that a viable Danionella platform will depend on, and Danionella — transparent throughout its life — offers a path toward imaging the whole brain of an adult vertebrate during natural, complex behavior, something never before achieved. As this work scales up, Janelia's AAALAC-accredited Vivarium is growing its Aquatics program.
About the Role
This position provides specialized technical services within Janelia's Aquatics program of the Vivarium. These services focus on creating and maintaining genetically modified zebrafish and Danionella colonies in support of Janelia’s research program. Working under minimal supervision, provides expertise with hands-on technical procedures to enable and streamline research.
Schedule Requirements: This position is primarily scheduled during standard business hours, with occasional weekend work as needed.
