About the Role
This position serves as a Research Specialist within the Neurology/CTN Cell & Gene Ther department. The role provides direct research support at the professional entry level, performing research-related activities limited in scope and complexity within a specialized field. The position offers an opportunity for future experimental and scientific development while supporting the planning, design, and execution of experiments.
In this role, you will work independently with latitude for exercising technical judgment. You will collaborate with other laboratories and utilize existing protocols, occasionally modifying, varying, or adapting standard laboratory procedures to meet the special needs of research projects. The work environment is a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) setting focused on the culture of human or rodent primary, Embryonic Stem cells (ES), Human Embryonic Kidney 293 Cells (HEK293), or Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells.
Your day-to-day activities will involve a variety of moderately-complex tasks, including rodent surgery, microscopy (including time-lapse imaging), histological procedures, and laboratory tests. You will be expected to troubleshoot malfunctioning equipment, perform simple repairs, and analyze material using computer-aided microscopy. Additionally, you will assist in the preparation of materials for publication, search literature for technical references, write technical protocols, and perform standard statistical analyses of data.
