As a successful candidate, you will:· Design and lead projects focused on understanding and augmenting CAR T cell function in specific microenvironmental contexts, using canonical immune signaling and activation as a conceptual framework.
· Coordinate lab tasks and operations among multiple lab members, including mentoring, training, and oversight; providing conceptual, technical, and experimental assistance; contributing to manuscripts and grant applications; and assembling reports and presentations.
· Keep detailed and accurate logs of experimental design and primary data, analysis, and synthesis.
· Prepare data presentations and manuscripts for publication.
· Organize and maintain project workflow, both internally and in collaborations with other labs.
Qualifications Your qualifications should include:· The Staff Scientist must possess, at a minimum, a Ph.
D.
or other doctoral level degree, or equivalent professional experience.
· Core competencies include cell and molecular biology, flow cytometry, protein biochemistry, and mouse work.
