Roose Lab – Assistant/Associate/Full Specialist

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE – Anatomy

Description

The Roose lab is seeking an Assistant/Associate/Full Specialist to join our group and contribute to new and ongoing projects. Our lab focuses on cell-cell interactions and cell fate decisions in the context of immunology, cancer biology, and stem cell biology. In many projects we apply the use of organoids, generated in the Roose Organoid Disease-to biology (D2B) unit from patient material or mouse models. We biobank and characterize epithelial cell organoids – often combined with other cell types - with imaging, spectral flow, and single cell technologies.

The candidate will be expected to contribute to generation and characterization of patient- and mouse model- organoids in the Roose lab and Roose Organoid D2B unit, by conducting mouse handling and mouse tissue acquisition, tissue culture and cell biology techniques, including organoid-immune cell co-cultures, imaging-, molecular- , and spectral flow- assays. An exceptional candidate will eventually lead their own independent project, develop new ideas, be familiar with the literature, and participate in procurement of funds, where appropriate. Additionally, the specialist will be expected to assist with managing day-to-day lab operations, and perform general lab duties and be a positive lab citizen.
