Position Summary

The Lab Technician B will contribute to the research mission of the laboratory by supporting studies focused on the dynamic regulation of cell signaling, cell-cycle progression, and adaptive cellular responses in normal and disease contexts. The lab uses an interdisciplinary approach that integrates quantitative microscopy, live-cell imaging, molecular and cellular biology, computational analysis, and cancer model systems to investigate how signaling dynamics govern cell fate and how these processes are altered in response to stress, perturbation, and therapy.

The successful candidate will assist with a range of research activities, including experimental studies, data collection, image- and data-analysis workflows, documentation, and general laboratory operations. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work in a collaborative and intellectually rigorous research environment, gain exposure to modern quantitative and computational approaches in biomedical research, and contribute to projects with both fundamental and translational significance.
