Further, the successful candidate will assist and advise senior staff and trainees in culturing and analyzing organoids, using modern techniques, performed under minimal supervision. The Research Associate's role requires extensive laboratory and cell culture experience. It is expected that the successful candidate has mastered specific technical skills underlying primary cell culture technique, and be sufficiently skilled to independently perform such work and instruct others as well. As well the role will involve the incumbent working closely with an interdisciplinary team to tackle cutting-edge challenges in organoid work.
