We work at the interface between immunology and cancer biology and combine the use of preclinical models of cancer and human samples with state-of-the-art technologies to profile the immune microenvironment of brain metastatic tumors upon different therapeutic interventions. We are looking for a highly motivated Laboratory Technician to perform general laboratory housekeeping and maintenance tasks and provide experimental support to the lab.

  • Monitor stocks of consumable materials and optimize purchases (reception and storage of reagents, generate purchase orders, market analysis on research products, meet sales representatives, etc.).
  • Perform technical troubleshooting and propose solutions together with the Principal Investigator.

Qualifications & Key Skills

  • Knowledge in flow cytometry, imaging and/or next-generation sequencing bioinformatic analyses will be a plus.
  • Skills: Rigor, efficiency, reliability, motivation, team player, vocation towards service, willingness to learn.
  • Fluent command of English (written and spoken) is a must.
