Research Associate (Laboratory Operations and Coordination)

Department: Biology

Job Category: Research
Job Type: Full-Time

Department Information
We are seeking an exceptional Laboratory Manager to support a collaborative research environment spanning three active academic laboratories: the Bisson, Limoli, and van Kessel labs. This joint position offers a unique opportunity to work at the center of multiple research programs, helping coordinate operations, people, and resources across a diverse and high-performing scientific team.

Indiana University is an equal opportunity employer and provider of ADA services and prohibits discrimination in hiring. See Indiana University Notice of Non-Discrimination here which includes contact information.

The position is ideal for a candidate who excels in managing complex systems, tracking multiple workflows, and supporting a dynamic research environment through strong organizational practices.

Key Responsibilities:

Operational Organization

Develop and maintain organized systems for lab operations, including shared documents, calendars, and communication platforms
Ensure continuity and consistency in workflows across labs

Serve as the central liaison between labs and university administrative units (e.g., procurement, facilities, and safety offices)

Purchasing and Resource Tracking

Coordinate purchasing processes, including non-standard orders and vendor interactions
Track inventory levels and ensure availability of lab supplies
Monitor standing orders, service agreements, and software licenses
Maintain organized records of purchases, shipments, and equipment servicing

Coordination and Scheduling

Coordinate lab meetings and events
Maintain and manage calendars, room reservations, and scheduling systems
Organize retreats, seminars, and lab-wide events, including logistics and communications
Coordinate travel arrangements, reimbursements, and financial tracking for lab-related activities

Personnel Coordination

Manage onboarding and offboarding processes, ensuring completion of required steps and access to resources
Coordinate schedules and logistics for visiting scholars and job candidates
Provide organizational support to lab members and facilitate clear communication across groups
Assist in resolving logistical challenges and maintaining a collaborative environment

Compliance and Lab Infrastructure

Coordinate safety protocols, inspections, and required documentation
Organize equipment maintenance, service scheduling, and lab upkeep activities
Maintain records related to lab operations, safety compliance, and shared resources

Basic Qualifications

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred:

Familiarity with university administrative systems and processes
Ability to manage competing priorities and work independently

Working Conditions / Demands
This position operates in a combined laboratory and office environment. Part-time remote options could be possible with certain hiring restrictions. The role requires coordination across multiple lab spaces and interaction with faculty, staff, and students.

Additional Information
