Full-time, in-office in Emeryville, California.

Our mosquito work

Build and operate the distributed laboratory network that makes our learning loop possible. Your job is to help independent labs produce comparable, timely, scientifically useful assay data without erasing the realities of how each lab works.

Key Responsibilities
• Recruit, assess, onboard, and support laboratories capable of running our standardized mosquito-behavior protocol
• Coordinate assay equipment, compound shipments, training, schedules, data submissions, troubleshooting, and follow-up experiments across the network
• Track capacity, turnaround time, protocol adherence, control performance, inter-lab agreement, missing data, and required repeat runs
• Build practical onboarding materials, support systems, escalation paths, and operating reviews that help labs succeed independently
• Preserve chain of custody, assay provenance, permissions, and clear ownership of every experimental record
• Bring recurring lab observations back to science, product, and operations teams so protocols and tools improve without breaking comparability

Qualifications
• Significant experience in multi-site research operations, laboratory operations, scientific program management, or a comparable life-sciences network
• Demonstrated ability to turn a technical protocol into repeatable execution across organizations with different constraints
• Strong project management, written communication, data discipline, and relationship-building skills
• Comfort coordinating research materials, documentation, timelines, and quality issues across countries and time zones
• Willingness to travel to partner laboratories when remote support is not enough

Desired Attributes
• Experience with entomology, vector biology, behavioral assays, or global health research
• Experience managing research consortia, contract laboratories, open-science collaborations, or distributed quality systems
• Familiarity with chemical-shipment coordination, laboratory safety, and cross-border research logistics
• Ability to be exacting about evidence while remaining a trusted partner to labs
