What You'll Do: Under close supervision of the principal investigator, other lab members, and senior scientists in collaborating labs who are familiar with the techniques required, the Research Technician may conduct a variety of experiments using a variety of skills, which may include culturing bacterial and mammalian cells, making mesoscale and high-throughput measurements of treatment responses, quantitative analysis, performing medium-scale microscopy experiments, Python or Matlab programming, synthesizing information from the published literature, and use and development of machine learning algorithms. Work in the BSL-3 facility is essential to the work of the lab and includes but is not limited to experimentation with the pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis; BSL-3 work requires a high attention to detail, work under pressure, good decision making in the face of dynamic conditions, and laboratory work while wearing BSL-3 specific personal protective equipment.
