A Research technician position is available in the Department of Pediatrics and Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Michigan Medical School. The goal of our research is to elucidate the baseline immune characteristics and changes in local and systemic immune response to an immunotherapeutic approach in murine models of pediatric high-grade glioma. The project also involves epigenetics, single-cell RNA sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and flow cytometry. This project will robustly contribute to the design and implementation of this novel immunotherapeutic strategy in a first-in-pediatric phase 1clinical trial for pediatric brain tumor patients.
The Research Technician will perform moderately experimental procedures in one or more areas of work under the supervision of the Principal Investigators and/or higher-level research staff. They will also be required to perform simple statistical calculations and data analysis, perform library research on specified topic, and prepare bibliographies, assist with manuscript and grant proposal preparation. Our laboratories offer state-of-the-art facilities and a very productive and exciting research environment.
