• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to communicate experimental findings and support overarching project objectives effectively.

• Independently manage project timelines and execute tissue-based assays to ensure the timely completion of experiments.

• Maintain a meticulous electronic lab notebook (ELN) to document all research activities and data management processes and participate in internal training sessions to ensure compliance with Merck's best practices.

Must have:

• Expertise in the processing, embedding, and sectioning of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues to ensure superior quality is essential. Familiarity with sectioning frozen OCT-embedded tissues would be considered an additional advantage.

• Demonstrated experience in performing immunohistochemistry (IHC) is required, with familiarity in immunofluorescence (IF) and RNAscope assays considered a plus, utilizing both manual techniques and automated systems where applicable.


Nice to haves:

• Familiarity with mouse tissue handling protocols, including the ability to trim tissues appropriately for downstream processing and embedding (note: this role does not involve work with live animals).

• Basic understanding of image analysis methodologies and microscopy techniques, including skills in image acquisition and interpretation for effective assessment of staining quality.

• Proficiency in data entry and processing skills, along with a foundational understanding of basic statistical concepts and graphing techniques for data analysis; experience with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) for data organization and management is a plus.

• Experience with automated immunostainers (e.g., Leica Bond, Ventana) is also desirable.

• Interest in and/or understanding of oncology, immune-oncology, and / or immunology.


Preferred Qualifications:

Prior exposure to quantitative image analysis tools (e.g., ImageJ, Indica Labs HALO, QuPath) and experience with whole slide imaging applications to enhance research capabilities.

Note: Role is estimated to be a 1-year assignment with the possibility of extension. This role requires onsite presence in Boston, MA, fostering collaboration and effective communication within the team.
