​​Description:
The Translational Research & Development group seeks a Biomedical Engineering graduate (MS or higher) with experience in 3D neural cultures and biochemical assays. The primary responsibility will be to conduct drug and chemical testing. The preferred candidate would have hands-on experience with 3D cell cultures and screening in a toxicology or pharmaceutical laboratory (discovery or investigative toxicology). Experience with complex in vitro models, cell culture perfusion such as organ on a chip modalities, gene editing, functional activity recordings (MEA) and computation/machine learning are advantages. Biochemistry background is a plus, but not required. 

Qualifications:
• Hands-on experience with complex tissue models
• Experience with iPSC-derived and primary 3D cell cultures, or tissue slices
• Hands-on experience with screening (biochemical assaying and assay multiplexing)
• Ability to generate and analyze dose-response curves
• Experience with data analysis, visualization, and statistical computation (R or GraphPad Prism, Python)
• Ability to execute, troubleshoot and analyze experiments and to interpret results
• Cellular biology techniques (gene editing, immunostaining, high-content imaging, image analysis, western blot)
• Molecular biology skills (mammalian cell DNA/RNA extraction, PCR/RT-PCR/qPCR)
• Familiarity or experience with multielectrode array (MEA) recordings
• Familiarity or experience with machine learning
• Documentation of procedures and results in compliance with Electronic Lab Notebook guidelines
• Strong interpersonal and organizational skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent oral, written and presentation skills
• Willingness to travel and present at conferences
