Candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team investigating how viruses infect primary cells in advanced micro physiological systems. This is a cutting-edge system that requires solid knowledge gained through previous laboratory experience. The individual will utilize independent analysis and problem-solving in performing virus infection assays. Works independently to generate results that contribute to an area of research which will model intact organisms in a cellular system.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to making reagents for analysis of the micro physiological system and testing different assays within this system. Ensures compliance within a BSL2 regulatory environment. Works with previously established industry partners and contacts to support collaboration and generation of results.

Responsible for oversight of inventory and ordering laboratory supplies. Keeping good laboratory notes is essential as well as ability to work within a team environment. Work will be performed in the NEIDL with BSL2 viruses. BSL4 may be needed later on.
