- Writes technical reports and manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Minimum Qualifications
- MD or in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
- No experience required.
Preferred Qualifications
- in immunology, genetic engineering or related fields.
- Great fund of knowledge of tumor immunology principles.
- Ability to assess scRNAseq datasets and highly parametric flow cytometry.
- Understanding and practicing genetic engineering techniques (transfection, retroviral / lentiviral transduction, transposition, CRISPR-Cas9).
- Viral particle assembly.
- Excellent aseptic cell culture technique.
