We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Research Technologist to join our translational neuro-oncology research team. Our lab focuses on glioblastoma, meningiomas, and peripheral nerve sheath tumors, with a strong emphasis on tumor microenvironment biology, spatial and single-cell transcriptomics, and molecular biomarker discovery through epigenetic modifications.

The successful candidate will support ongoing projects by performing established and emerging laboratory techniques, including but not limited to:

• Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation from FFPE and frozen tumor tissues, CSF and plasma
• Molecular biology assays (PCR, RNA/DNA extraction, qPCR, bisulfite conversion)
• H&E staining, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining on FFPE and frozen tissues
• Fluorescence and brightfield microscopy, image acquisition, and analysis
• Sample preparation for spatial transcriptomics, single-cell analysis, and next-generation sequencing
• Data entry, preliminary statistical analysis, and assistance with manuscript and figure preparation
• Organization of lab inventory, reagents, and general lab maintenance

The Research Technologist will present data in lab meetings and collaborate closely with senior lab members and trainees. The candidate will be expected to work independently on routine procedures and receive mentorship for more complex tasks. Opportunities for authorship on publications are available based on contributions.

Requires bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, other relevant science, or an associates degree with 6 years of relevant laboratory experience. Must exhibit a solid understanding of lab techniques, equipment, and safety. Must have the ability to organize and carry out laboratory techniques independently and in a team setting. Experience with basic data analysis is required. This position requires demonstrated writing skills.
