Stem Cell Research Technician III

Advance neuroscience and vision research in Toronto as a Research Technician III using stem cell culture and molecular biology techniques.

At UHN’s Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute and Krembil Research Institute, this temporary full-time position supports a Principal Investigator’s laboratory. You will maintain human multipotent and pluripotent stem cell cultures, develop three-dimensional brain and eye organoid models, and study neurological and retinal disease. The work involves multidisciplinary collaboration within UHN’s research environment.

• Maintain cultured and primary cell lines using sterile techniques
• Conduct Western blots, qRT-PCR, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry
• Manage tissue culture facilities, supplies, and laboratory maintenance
• Support biosafety compliance and biological and chemical inventory management
• Present data during laboratory meetings, seminars, and conferences

• Bachelor’s degree in biological sciences or equivalent discipline
• At least six years of related experience
• Experience with multipotent and pluripotent stem cell cultures
• Experience with cell culture, molecular cloning, and genotyping protocols
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Use stem cell culture, organoid research, and molecular biology expertise to support UHN’s neuroscience and vision studies.
