Staff Openings

• Research Assistant III – Biosensors and Microfluidics
  Research and Technology Development

  We’re looking for a Research Assistant to join our team, focusing on developing new diagnostic devices. This involves creating electrochemical and optical assays, fabricating sensors, and integrating them into innovative diagnostic tools. You’ll report to the group leader and Senior Engineer and learn advanced microfabrication techniques to build devices that use small sample volumes, deliver rapid results, and handle high throughput. A key part of your role will be addressing the challenges of microfluidics and integrating various sensitive detection methods into a single device. This is a great opportunity to learn new skills, contribute to assay development, and intellectually contribute to projects within a collaborative team at the Institute. [001727SR]

• Research Assistant II – Cell Culture and Blood Clotting On Chip
  Research and Technology Development

  We are currently seeking a Research Assistant II to significantly contribute to a research program funded by the Welcome Leap, “The missed vital sign”, involving the use of human Organ Chips to advance knowledge and development of therapeutics for heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). We will be developing a human Organ Chip model of HMB and use it to identify causal factors, as well as discover new non-hormonal HMB therapeutics using multi-omics analysis in combination with an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled computational approach. As part of the Bioinspired Therapeutics & Diagnostics platform and reporting to the Scientist, you will carry out various cell-based assays and manage primary cell cultures, including, but not limited to, primary epithelial and endothelial cell cultures and on chip cultures. Furthermore, you will execute studies on blood perfusion in these human organ chip models of HMB and analyze differences between them and healthy models. You will be expected to learn new skills, and troubleshoot any technical issues that arise, and contribute intellectually to the project. [001609SR]

• Scientist I- Computational Biology
  Research and Technology Development

  We are looking for a Scientist I to join our Diagnostics Accelerator team with significant expertise in analyzing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and other high throughput datasets (mass spectrometry) for biomarker discovery. You will work with a multidisciplinary team on developing multi-omic technologies for investigating pathological states from human biofluids. You will lead development of novel Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) computational methods that will be used across different diseases. Although this role is primarily computational, you will also have an opportunity to participate or be trained in experimental methods and ideally serve as a hybrid computational / experimental scientist.
