  • Oversee and participate in the planning, design, and execution of experiments
  • Lead novel assay/process development in emerging areas of interest for future work
  • Provide technical support and mentorship to junior scientists
Requirements:
  • Recent PhD in Biology or a related field
  • Experience with human pluripotent stem cells, including directed differentiation
  • Experience with directed differentiation towards the pancreatic lineage is a plus
  • Experience with pluripotent stem cell-based disease modeling is a plus
  • Experience with automation systems is a plus
  • Ability to analyze and interpret data and report findings succinctly
  • Demonstrated ability to work both independently and within a multidisciplinary team
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
  • Adaptability to work in a fast-paced and changing environment
