The Martinez Lab at Stanford University is seeking a Life Science Research Professional 1 (2 year fixed term) possibility for extension, to perform basic functions and activities involved in defined research projects, and independently conduct and analyze experiments. The Martinez Lab is part of the Department of Chemical and Systems Biology and of Developmental Biology and of the ChEM-H Institute. Our lab is broadly interested in RNA-based mechanisms of gene regulation. Our current research studies mechanisms and functions of RNA modifications in mRNA processing and their roles in development and disease. We use a combination of molecular biology, RNA biochemistry, genomics, genetics, and systems biology. We are enthus
