Research Assistant III- Technology Development
Research and Technology DevelopmentWe are looking for a Research Assistant III to join our work developing novel technologies for biomarker discovery and diagnostics. You will work with a multidisciplinary team on developing novel technologies for investigating pathological states from human biofluids. You will lead development of novel methods that will be used across different diseases. Although you will work within a team and receive significant experimental and computational training, you will also have significant opportunities for scientific independence, and previous RAs working with us have contributed to multiple publications and presented their work at international conferences.

Scientist I – Organ Chips for Radiation and Spaceflight Studies
Research and Technology DevelopmentReporting to the Principal Scientist, you will develop potential drugs that mitigate radiation injury and accelerate recovery after ionizing radiation exposure. You will study the effects of radiation exposure, including that associated with spaceflight, on human hematopoietic cells. Your work will involve a variety of methods, including growing primary human hematopoietic cells in standard cultures and Organ Chip devices, single cell RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, and mass spectrometry.

Research Assistant III – Microbiology and In Vivo Models
Research and Technology DevelopmentWe are looking for a motivated Research Assistant III to contribute to a multidisciplinary portfolio of research projects involving procedures of health monitoring, injections, blood sampling, survival surgery, post- operative care, and behavioral studies relating to projects on the ImmunoMaterials Platform. Reporting to Staff Scientists on the ImmunoMaterials Platform at the Wyss Institute, you will be responsible for overseeing study animals, daily rounds, and observations to check animal health status; adherence to protocols and techniques at the animal facility; performing and documenting experimental observations in rodent species; and sample processing at the conclusion of the studies. You will also be responsible for maintaining cell and pathogen cultures for in vitro and in vivo experiments. You will run screening assays that are in vitro based, including but not limited to: microbiology, ELISA, enzymatic assays, imaging, and flow cytometry. [002672SR]
