Overview

Global Discovery Pathology is seeking a qualified individual to assist with the execution and analysis of microscopy-based cell, organoid, and tissue assays aimed at understanding therapeutic targeting and mechanism of action. The candidate will work with a cross functional team of imaging scientists, histologists, and pathologists to support a wide range of different therapeutic areas within the
*** research organization. The candidate must possess an M.S. degree in cell and molecular biology or a related field and have 2+ years of laboratory experience.

• Perform preparation of common stock solutions and maintenance and preparation of cell cultures.
• Immunofluorescence staining of samples (cultured cells, tissue sections, and 3D samples comprising thick tissue samples or whole organoids).
• Data acquisition using both automated and human-interactive microscopy systems.
• Organization and analysis of image data.
• Operate an automated liquid handling system for sample preparation as needed, depending on knowledge and experience.
• After initial training, conduct work independently with consultation from more senior lab members.
