Research Technician
GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
We are seeking a creative and highly motivated Research Technician to join the Liu Lab.
This is a unique opportunity to work with Dr.
Sophia Liu, an Early Independence Fellow and Core Faculty at the Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard.
The goal of the project is to understand B cell development in diseased and homeostatic contexts by developing a spatial transcriptomics method for studying B cells in tissues.
The person hired will work under the mentorship of Dr.
Sophia Liu and lead a project developing experimental and computational approaches.
The candidate will use spatial transcriptomics, microscopy, and sequencing methods, and be encouraged to design, analyze, and perform their own experiments.
This is a great opportunity for someone who is curious and dedicated to science, interested in pursuing a career in scientific research or medicine, and looking to work in an energetic and collaborative environment.
The Liu Lab is committed to providing a diverse, inclusive, and supportive environment; appropriately qualified applicants from all backgrounds will be considered.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Develop, design, and carry out experiments with a team, including experiments involving next-generation sequencing, molecular biology, immunologic assays, microscopy, and flow cytometry.
Analyze data and present findings to others.
Maintain detailed documentation of the experimental work.
Ensure quality control of equipment, reagents and cellular components.
Read and interpret current literature to aid in experimental design.
Work closely within the group and with outside collaborators.
