The Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging is seeking a highly skilled Staff Research Associate 2 to join our dynamic research team. The successful candidate will play a critical role in the development of preclinical disease models in the fields of oncology and fibrosis. This position requires exceptional in vivo skills, including expertise in the development and implementation of various disease models such as xenografts, orthotopic models, PDX models, bleomycin-induced fibrosis, and bile duct ligation models. In this role, you will also be responsible for dose administration of therapeutics and radioactive molecules, as well as tissue collection for downstream assessments. Responsibilities will also include developing and optimizing preclinical models of disease in oncology and fibrosis, including xenografts, orthotopic models, PDX models, bleomycin-induced fibrosis, and bile duct ligation models, collecting tissues for assessment, collaborating with the imaging center to execute preclinical imaging studies using PET/SPECT/CT/Optical modalities, and assisting with other research activities as needed.
