The Stanford ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center operates under the auspices of the Stanford Genome Technology Center (SGTC) and the Stanford School of Medicine. This project is a collaboration between the SGTC Center director, Dr. Ron Davis, and Dr. Robert Phair of Integrative Bioinformatics, Inc. All work will be performed at the Stanford Genome Technology Center in Palo Alto, CA.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or ME/CFS, is a debilitating illness with unknown cause and no cure. The similarity between ME/CFS and Post-Acute Sequelae of Covid-19 (PASC, or Long Covid) suggests a common disease mechanism that is triggered by infection. The SGTC is seeking a candidate with experience in Immunology, Molecular Biology, or a related field to perform mechanistic studies of innate immunity and metabolic regulation of immune cells.
The SGTC conducts multiple IRB-approved study protocols involving healthy human subjects and individuals with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and other fatigue-associated disorders. Working with fresh human specimens requires careful planning, meticulous execution, and precise record-keeping. Other relevant skills for this position include extracting, processing, and detecting nucleic acids, metabolites, and other biomarkers from human specimens. The candidate will have experience developing and testing new experimental protocols, analyzing study data, and iterating as needed to effectively test research hypotheses.
The ideal candidate will have experience in many of the following areas:
