Research Assistant, Materials Chemistry (Nanoparticles)

The day-to-day activities of our Research Associate will vary, and may include all or none of these tasks on a given day:

• Synthesize nanomaterials using high pressure reactors.

• Purify materials and prep them for secondary experiments.

• Characterize the materials using in house analysis techniques.

• Work with external centers for advanced characterization of the material.

• Interface and work with external collaborators, CROs, or CMOs.

• Create, document, and maintain organizational and purchasing systems for chemicals and special reagents.

• Work collaboratively with and prepare solutions for the organ transplant and hardware team.

• Ensure on-time data reporting and accurate sample delivery.

• Prepare equipment and supplies for experiments of a variety of modalities, and assist with laboratory consumables management.

 

Additionally, as your laboratory capabilities expand, you will have the opportunity to support a growing number of experiments, including but not limited to: Organ cooling/rewarming, assay design, cryoprotectant formulation, cryoprotectant discovery, medical Imaging, toxicology, etc. Prior experience performing these experiments is not required, however, general familiarity with most or all of these concepts is very helpful.
