Lab technicians perform routine tasks of moderate to high complexity. Examples include conducting various experimental tasks such as primary tumor sample processing, tissue culture, flow cytometry, western blot, ELISA assays, as well as performing computational analysis of experimental results. In addition, they will work independently on day-to-day duties including setting up, operating, maintaining and cleaning basic laboratory equipment. While stress levels are low in this role, moderate impact of errors can still occur. Working in the laboratory requires high focus and attention. The lab technician will perform quality control testing techniques when cleaning and maintaining all equipment and supplies. This position will work both independently and in a team environment.

Summary of Key Responsibilities (job functions include but are not limited to):

Immunology & Multiple Myeloma Experimental Work:

Establish and maintain mammalian tissue cultures

Assist with profiling immune-tumor interactions and cytokine readouts through flow cytometry and ELISA assays

Molecular Biology & Biochemical Techniques:

Perform DNA/RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, PCR/qPCR
Conduct Western blotting, protein expression analyses, and ELISA assays
Prepare primary tumor samples for sequencing or molecular profiling
Cloning and producing lentiviral vectors, cell line transductions
Prepare reagents, buffers, and maintain molecular inventories

Flow Cytometry & Imaging:

Prepare single-cell suspensions for multicolor flow cytometry
Operate flow cytometry instruments (training available)
Assist with fluorescence or confocal imaging

Training will be provided to the successful candidate in mouse model support including:

Mouse handling, monitoring, basic procedures, and maintaining animal-use records
Bone marrow and spleen harvests
Tissues processing for flow cytometry and microscopy

Lab Operations:

Help establish and maintain a well-organized new research lab
Order and maintain lab stocks/reagents/equipment (including communicating with vendors and personnel from supply chain management when necessary)
Maintain equipment functionality and monitor shared facility bookings
Maintain SOPs, safety documentation, and sample records

Team Support & Training:

Work closely with the postdoctoral research fellows and graduate students on complex experiments
Train junior students in the operation of equipment, laboratory techniques and laboratory protocols
Contribute to a respectful, collaborative lab culture
Establish and maintain effective, productive relationships with staff, peers, immediate supervisor and senior management and with the campus community

Qualifications / Requirements:

Master's degree (minimum) in immunology, cancer biology, or molecular biology
Minimum 2 years of experience in an immunology focused research lab
Strong mammalian cell culture skills under sterile conditions
Experience with PCR, Western blotting, ELISA, and flow cytometry
Experience with cloning and producing lentiviral vectors for cell line transduction
Willingness to work with mouse models (training provided)
Must be open to learning and development, and be willing to accept new challenges and assignments
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Excellent communication, written and organizational skills, and accurate record keeping
Knowledge of theory and practical application of technical procedures
Intermediate to advanced skills in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint)
WHIMIS certification

Application Deadline: July 21, 2026

We strive to recruit individuals who will further enhance our diversity and will support their academic and professional success while they are here. In particular, we encourage members of the designated groups (women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible/racialized minorities, and diverse sexual orientation and gender identities) to apply.

Questions regarding [diversity] EDI at UCalgary can be sent to the Office of Institutional Commitments ([email protected]) and requests for accommodations can be sent to People & Culture ([email protected]).

Do you have most but not all the qualifications? Research show that women, racialized and visible minorities, and persons with disabilities are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At UCalgary we are committed to achieving equitable, diverse, inclusive and accessible employment practices and workplaces and encourage you to apply if you believe you are right for this role.

We encourage all qualified applicants to apply, however preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada.
