REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS*

Bachelor’s in biology-based field, including Biomedical Engineering + 2 years researching human stem cell differentiation using immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, and quantitative image analysis; and developing micropatterning processes on various substrates for human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) using photolithography and other techniques.

Assist in research involving human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) using standard biology methods, tests, and analysis applied to cells grown on special substrates; set up, operate, calibrate, troubleshoot, & maintain laboratory instruments and equipment; ensure lab operations comply with set standards & regulations; monitor experiments; collect data & samples; make observations; calculate & record results; organize research laboratory operations, including supply/equipment inventories & purchasing as well as onboarding lab members; assist in training lab members in hPSC culture and differentiation, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, & quantitative image analysis; isolate, identify & prepare hPSCs for examination by creating substrates, including developing consistent micropatterning process for hPSCs using photolithography on various substrates in order to study mesoderm differentiation.
