As the Research Assistant (RA Grade I–III), you will play a key role in supporting advanced cell culture and organoid-based research within NGNRI’s Cell Culture and Organoid Facility. This position is open to candidates at varying experience levels, with responsibilities tailored accordingly. The successful candidate will begin with hands-on training in a Henry Ford Health laboratory, gaining experience in stem cell culture, organoid systems, and experimental workflows. You will then transition to NGNRI to help establish and operate its in-house organoid platform. This is an opportunity to contribute directly to high-impact research, supporting the delivery of robust, reproducible experimental systems that drive discovery and therapeutic development.

About the role

Perform routine and advanced mammalian cell culture, including maintenance of primary cells, stem cells, and derived cell types
Support generation, maintenance, and characterization of organoids and related 3D culture systems
Execute experimental protocols under supervision, including differentiation, treatment, and assay workflows
Maintain accurate and detailed laboratory records in accordance with NGNRI standards
Assist in optimization and standardization of protocols to improve reproducibility and scalability
Prepare reagents, media, and materials required for experiments
Perform basic quality control procedures (e.g., cell viability, contamination monitoring, morphological assessment)
Support implementation of laboratory organization, inventory management, and equipment maintenance
Collaborate with other platform teams (e.g., screening, genome engineering) as needed
Adhere to all biosafety, regulatory, and ethical guidelines

During initial assignment at Henry Ford Health:

Participate in structured, hands-on training in organoid and stem cell methodologies
Learn and apply best practices in experimental design, execution, and documentation
Work closely with HFH scientists and staff to gain proficiency in relevant technologies
Demonstrate progressive independence and technical competency over the training period

About you

High integrity and commitment to rigorous scientific standards
Eager to learn and develop new technical skills
Reliable, organized, and detail-oriented
Collaborative and team-oriented mindset
Adaptable and responsive to feedback
Motivated by contributing to meaningful biomedical research

Preferred Qualifications

RA Grade II (Intermediate):

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with 1–3+ years of relevant laboratory experience
Minimum of 2 years hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture
Familiarity with sterile technique and basic cell-based assays
Ability to execute experiments with moderate independence

RA Grade III (Advanced):

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with 3–5+ years of relevant experience
Proven experience with stem cell culture, organoids, or complex in vitro systems
Ability to troubleshoot experiments and optimize protocols
Demonstrated capability to work independently and support junior staff

All Levels:

Strong attention to detail and commitment to reproducibility
Maintain excellent organization and meticulous documentation of experimental procedures and results
Proficiency in both spoken and written English communication
Effective communication and teamwork abilities
Willingness to work in a dynamic, fast-paced research environment
