Baylor College of Medicine, in partnership with the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, is seeking a Research Technician III to support a translational research laboratory focused on mechanobiology, epithelial signaling, and congenital lung disease. This position will support molecular, cell-based, tissue-based, and animal studies investigating how biomechanical forces regulate lung development and epithelial function.
The Research Technician III will serve as the primary technical and operational support for the laboratory, assisting with molecular cloning, mechanobiology assays, precision-cut lung slice (PCLS) systems, mRNA production, and coordination of animal studies. The role also includes management of laboratory operations, inventory systems, and IACUC-related documentation to ensure continuity of research activities and regulatory compliance.
This position operates with a high degree of independence, supports multiple ongoing projects, and collaborates closely with postdoctoral fellows, surgical research fellows, and students to maintain experimental rigor, reproducibility, and overall research productivity.
