About Arc Institute
The Arc Institute is a new scientific institution that conducts curiosity-driven basic science and technology development to understand and treat complex human diseases. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Arc is an independent research organization founded on the belief that many important research programs will be enabled by new institutional models. Arc operates in partnership with Stanford University, UCSF, and UC Berkeley.
While the prevailing university research model has yielded many tremendous successes, we believe in the importance of institutional experimentation as a way to make progress. These include :
- Funding : Arc will fully fund Core Investigators’ (PIs’) research groups, liberating scientists from the typical constraints of project-based external grants.
- Technology : Biomedical research has become increasingly dependent on complex tooling. Arc Technology Centers develop, optimize and deploy rapidly advancing experimental and computational technologies in collaboration with Core Investigators.
- Support : Arc aims to provide first-class support—operationally, financially and scientifically—that will enable scientists to pursue long-term high risk, high reward research that can meaningfully advance progress in disease cures, including neurodegeneration, cancer, and immune dysfunction.
- Culture : We believe that culture matters enormously in science and that excellence is difficult to sustain. We aim to create a culture that is focused on scientific curiosity, a deep commitment to truth, broad ambition, and selfless collaboration.
Arc has scaled to nearly 200 people. With $650M in committed funding and a state of the art new lab facility in Palo Alto, Arc will continue to grow quickly in the coming years.
About the position
We are seeking an exceptional scientific leader and researcher to build and manage the Cellular Models Center, one of the foundational Technology Centers at the Arc Research Institute. The Center will be internally funded and staffed by professional research scientists, with the overall mission of developing cellular models to study human disease.
The center will be focused on developing and applying advanced human multi cell-type models to initially model Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders using cutting edge genetic screening approaches. The center will play a key role in our Institute-wide Alzheimer’s initiative that is a highly collaborative and ambitious effort across other Tech Centers as well as Core Laboratories at the Institute for high-throughput interrogation of disease mechanisms via investigation of the role of human genetic variants using gene editing and functional genomics, and eventual development of rational therapeutic strategies.
In addition, the center will engage in diverse collaborations with other Tech centers and Laboratories to develop and apply other human cellular models to investigate other complex diseases, including immune-related conditions as part of our overall mission.
