Yale Lab Manager Opening

Yale’s Hattie Chung Lab is hiring a lab manager to run day-to-day research operations for a young group working on genomics and imaging. (x.com) The opening was posted by jobRxiv and points to Yale’s Hattie Chung Lab, led by Hattie Chung, an assistant professor of medicine in cardiology and of molecular, cellular and developmental biology at Yale School of Medicine. Chung is also a member of the Cardiovascular Research Center. (x.com) (medicine.yale.edu) The lab studies how different cells organize inside tissues in health and disease. Yale says the group uses single-cell and spatial genomics, which read genetic activity cell by cell and map it back to where those cells sit in tissue. (medicine.yale.edu 1) (medicine.yale.edu 2) That work sits between computation and bench science. Yale describes Chung as a systems and computational biologist whose lab builds computational and experimental methods and applies them to ovarian aging, cardiovascular disease, and drug-response modeling. (medicine.yale.edu) (physics-engineering-biology.yale.edu) The hiring need reflects the kind of infrastructure this research requires. Yale’s Center for Genome Analysis says it provides high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing, and Chung’s lab profile says her team emphasizes high-dimensional genomic data and single-cell technologies. (medicine.yale.edu 1) (medicine.yale.edu 2) Chung joined the Yale faculty in 2024 after a postdoctoral fellowship at the Broad Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, according to a Yale School of Medicine profile published November 3, 2025. Yale said she quickly set up a lab that combines computational biology, systems biology, and advanced experimental tools. (medicine.yale.edu) Her academic path runs through the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. Yale says Chung earned a Bachelor of Science in biological engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2011 and a Doctor of Philosophy in systems biology from Harvard in 2016. (medicine.yale.edu) The posting also signals what universities increasingly ask of lab managers: not only ordering supplies and coordinating workflows, but helping keep complex, multidisciplinary research groups running. In this case, the role was framed around operational leadership inside an academic lab environment. (x.com) For applicants, the job is less about a single experiment than about keeping a genomics-and-imaging lab moving. For Yale, it is another step in building out a newer research program around tissue organization, aging, and disease. (medicine.yale.edu) (physics-engineering-biology.yale.edu)
