Additionally, they will be responsible for general laboratory management duties, monitoring and caring for laboratory animals within the Preston A. Wells Jr Center for Brain Tumor Therapy within the Department of Neurosurgery.
Independently design experiments. Independently perform experimental work, including: animal
surgeries, cell culture, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, RNA seq analysis. Includes analyzing data
and reporting data. Adjust/modify experimental designs as necessary based on experimental data
analysis. This includes the maintenance of experimental animals.
Laboratory management, including: maintaining lab equipment, keeping inventory updated,
purchasing lab and office supplies, maintaining laboratory safety programs, training of personnel in
laboratory safety techniques, keep laboratory records, preparing reagents, maintaining clean work areas,
and managing chemical and biological waste. Lead and manage the laboratory in the absence of the PI.
