About NemaLife

NemaLife is a bio-intelligence platform company redefining the evidence layer for the nutraceutical and consumer product industry. We combine proprietary microfluidics, AI-powered imaging, and C. elegans biology to deliver high-throughput, mechanism-aware validation of bioactives across multiple health domains, giving ingredient suppliers and consumer health brands the biological evidence they need to develop, differentiate, and defend their products. Our partners include global ingredient suppliers and consumer brands building the next generation of clinically credible, human-relevant, and ethically sourced products. We are growing and looking for scientists who want to work at the frontier of biology, health ingredient intelligence, and consumer products.

Position Overview

NemaLife is seeking a Lab Manager with deep C. elegans expertise to take ownership of our screening lab, lead a team of research specialists, and deliver high-quality science on commercial timelines. This role combines hands-on laboratory leadership with project ownership, running the day-to-day screening workflow while translating internal and client objectives into structured, executable plans. The ideal candidate is equally at home developing a new assay and managing a team, draws on the scientific literature to guide study design, and turns complex findings into clear scientific and commercial insights.

Key Responsibilities

Take ownership of internal and client projects in the C. elegans screening lab, translating objectives into structured plans with clear milestones, timelines, and ownership, and delivering high-quality results on schedule.
Oversee daily execution and team schedules across multiple programs, leading project meetings, tracking action items, and maintaining accountability across the team.
Lead execution of the screening workflow, including assay preparation, compound testing, and lab maintenance, and troubleshoot inefficiencies as they arise.
Lead and contribute to assay development projects, designing and optimizing new methods and protocols to expand the lab's screening capabilities.
Ensure inventory readiness, maintain equipment and reagents, and support recruitment, onboarding, and a collaborative team environment.
Collect, analyze, and interpret screening and performance data to drive data-informed decisions and continuous improvement.
Develop, maintain, and update SOPs and essential documentation to ensure regulatory compliance and consistency across research activities.
Define, track, and report key performance indicators (KPIs) across projects and lab operations to monitor productivity, quality, and turnaround.
Prepare high-quality scientific deliverables, including client reports, manuscripts, posters, abstracts, and presentations, and serve as a scientific point of contact for clients.

The Ideal Candidate

Thinks and communicates like a scientist but operates like a lab leader, equally comfortable at the bench and managing timelines and team accountability.
Has spent several years working hands-on with the C. elegans model and knows how to build and optimize an assay from initial design through validation.
Can run a lab team, hold people accountable, and maintain experimental quality under commercial timelines.
Distills complex biological findings into clear, decision-useful insights for both scientific and commercial audiences.
Brings genuine curiosity about how C. elegans biology maps to human health and bioactive ingredients.

Qualifications

Required

PhD in Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field, with a primary research focus in C. elegans.
Several years of hands-on experience working directly with the C. elegans model.
Proven experience developing and optimizing C. elegans assays, from initial design through validation.
Strong command of screening workflows, data analysis, and scientific documentation.
Demonstrated ability to lead projects, manage timelines, and bring out strong performance across a research team.
Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the ability to present to diverse audiences.

Preferred

Experience in an applied R&D, CRO, or industry setting.
Familiarity with microfluidics or high-content imaging systems.
Experience with data analysis and AI tools.
Prior client-facing or scientific project management experience.

What We Offer

A front-row seat at the intersection of biology, technology, and ingredient innovation.

Direct exposure to global ingredient suppliers and consumer health brands.

A collaborative, mission-driven team environment.

401K plan, ten paid Company Holidays annually, and Paid Time Off accruing at 10 hours per pay month (three weeks, or 120 hours, annually), increasing per Company policy. Please note we do not currently offer medical insurance.
