Experience with standard cell culture, flow cytometry, and biochemical/biophysical methods.
Proficiency in cutting‑edge gene editing techniques, microfluidics assays to analyze clotting kinetics, confocal and multi‑photon microscopy, and various hemostasis‑related assays.
Ability to obtain and maintain a T1 Public Trust clearance.
Physical Capabilities
Requires lifting materials up to 10 lbs.
Ability to stand or sit at a computer for prolonged periods.
Position primarily in a laboratory setting.
Compensation
Annual salary range: $50,000–$70,000 (actual salary determined by experience, education, etc.).
