<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The Knouse lab will be opening at the Whitehead Institute in June and is looking for a motivated graduating student to serve as the lab’s first technician. Our lab will
establish the mouse liver as a physiologically relevant system for understanding the reversibility of cellular quiescence with the ultimate goal of uncovering novel approaches for tissue regeneration. This job will give you the unique opportunity to be a critical
member in the establishment of a new laboratory and conduct independent research alongside the principal investigator that could result in first-author publications and conference presentations. You will further benefit from collaboration and interactions
with the rich scientific community at the Whitehead Institute and MIT. <span></span></font></div>
