The Ray Lab (https://arjaraylab.com) is seeking a motivated, organized, and collaborative Research Technologist with interests in immunology/cancer to join our growing team in the Department of Cell Biology. In the Ray lab, we study the effects of tumor microenvironments on the regulation of CD8 T cell function. CD8 T cells are the primary cells responsible for cancer cell killing and the target of most immunotherapies for cancer. We use genetically engineered mouse models, advanced multi-parametric flow cytometry, live imaging and other spatial techniques, along with in vitro engineered models to study these critical determinants of anti-tumor immunity. New members will be joining a welcoming and collaborative environment, focused on building a rigorous team to tackle the next-generation problems in cancer immunology. In this position, you will learn and apply cutting-edge immunology, cell biology and imaging techniques to answer specific research questions related to tumor immunology under the direct guidance of Dr. Ray. As part of our nascent team, you will have the unique opportunity to work in a close-knit group and gain personal hands-on guidance, as well as opportunities for open-ended growth with your project(s). In this context, we expect new recruits to gain sufficient expertise and make contributions to be co-authors on the lab's first publications. The experience with these research projects and lab management will be developed with your future ambitions in mind- including pursuing graduate studies in biomedical sciences/engineering or medical school. The Research Technologist will play a formative role in the early stages of lab setup and management. These duties include, but may not be limited to, ordering equipment and supplies, receiving shipments, setting up and maintaining equipment, and monitoring inventories. If you have a solid base in scientific thinking (e.g. a bachelor's in sciences/engineering), are enthusiastic about research (with or without formal experience), have good communication skills, and enjoy working in a team, we encourage you to apply.
