• Ability to work independently and as a member of a research team.
• Ability to prioritize tasks, coordinate work tasks with others, and meet multiple deadlines.

• Ability to perform repetitive tasks routinely and precisely (plating cells, running samples etc.)

Preferred Qualifications:
• Prior lab experience from academia or industry (beyond coursework)
• familiarity with any of the following: mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, microscopy, immunostaining, immunofluorescence, molecular biology, use of mouse models
• experience with R programming, or a desire to learn it for DNA-seq, RNA-seq, SC-seq or ChIP-seq analysis
• candidates interested in applying to graduate or medical school are encouraged to apply
