Ensuring the safe handling of specialized lab equipment and materials while troubleshooting routine equipment repairs and issues
Maintaining inventory of glass and dishware, workstations, chemicals and apparatus within the lab and following safety guidelines

Minimum two years experience preparing routine samples using a broad range of experimental methods for research projects and/or experiments
Demonstrated experience with standard immunological, biochemical, and molecular biology techniques
Experience with mouse husbandry and mouse colony management
Experience with sterile technique, cell culture, operation of biosafety cabinets, and working with risk group 2 organisms
Experience conducting experiments including those related to the purification of biological compounds and a variety of assays (e.g. biomedical, molecular, in vivo, microscopy, immunofluorescence and other anti-based assays, RT-qPCR, physiological, high throughput, etc.)
Experience maintaining laboratory inventories, equipment logs, service records, and supporting purchasing/vendor coordination
Familiarity with lab health and safety regulations, including biological waste disposal
Ability to orient students and staff to laboratory procedures and safe work practices
Ability to maintain accurate laboratory records, organize experimental data, and use electronic notebooks or shared databased effectively
Proficiency with computing and data management tools (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, or equivalent systems)
Ability to exercise sound judgement and initiative in resolving day-to-day technical or research problems
Excellent time management, organizational, and communication skills (written and verbal)
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team research setting
Excellent manual dexterity required
