Research Associate, Neuroscience Returnship

Your work will change lives. Including your own.

-------------------------------------------------

**We are building a future where biology is solvable.

**The path to new medicines is currently slow and expensive, with high failure rates, leaving millions of patients waiting for new treatment options. Our story is one of innovation: applying AI, vast datasets, and industrial scale to decode biology and accelerate the development of life-changing treatments.

**Recursion’s Returnship Program

**Recursion’s Returnship program, sponsored by the Women at Recursion Employee Resource Group, helps professionals who have taken a break of two or more years from the STEM industry return to the workforce. Participants work in a supportive, learning-focused environment with guidance from their teams and mentors.

Our program benefits both sides. You’ll own projects that directly advance our mission to radically decode biology and serve patients, and you’ll build experience with new, cutting-edge tools and technology. In turn, Recursion gains access to an underutilized pool of talent in Utah and benefits from the skills and experience you’ve built through your work and life.

What you’ll get

• A dedicated mentor who meets with you weekly
• Weekly seminars on workplace culture, communication, and technology
• Support from your team as you re-enter the workforce

Our program runs for sixteen weeks, from March 2027 through the end of June 2027. Depending on performance and business needs, it may lead to full-time employment. This position is primarily based at our Salt Lake City, UT headquarters, with some hybrid flexibility.

**Neuroscience Returnship

**The Neuroscience (Neuro) team is a diverse, collaborative group working on complex human cell models for drug discovery. This team works on iPSC differentiation techniques, process development for scaled cell production, assay development for cell characterization, and gene editing techniques to deliver data packages that drive decisions about cellular models and compound selection. With a mission of bringing transformative medicines to patients, this high-performing team works together to continually improve our workflows.

The Neuro Returner will work alongside, and in support of, R&D scientists. This role will be trained and mentored by a scientist and will interact with other team members outside of Neuro daily, as needed, during the returnship period.

You will own a laboratory project focused on developing and validating cell-based assays, performing hands-on cell culture work, and maintaining data and documentation in the team’s systems.

• Perform tissue culture activities such as cell thawing, passing, and banking of cell models, including iPSCs and/or iPSC-derived cell types
• Develop, optimize, and validate cell-based assays using automated imaging and analysis pipelines
• **Establish and optimize*...
