The Karp Lab seeks an outstanding, full-time research technician. The candidate will assist in developing biomedical devices for cell-based therapeutics through a highly multidisciplinary approach, drawing on techniques and insight from biomedical engineering, materials science, cell biology, mechanical engineering and computational modeling. The successful candidate for this position will be responsible for fabricating devices, assisting in in vitro and in vivo experiments, and characterizing devices for structural integrity, biocompatibility, and function. The candidate will receive rigorous training in the specific techniques required to execute these responsibilities, including cell culture, ELISA, histology, and device fabrication methods. The candidate should possess strong organizational and communication skills for assisting and collaborating with multidisciplinary groups of technology innovators and engineers, as well as biologists and clinicians, in a dynamic team environment.

Basic Qualifications: Bachelor or Master of Biology, Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or related degree in science or engineering.

Technical skills: Experience with cell culture, biomedical devices, nanofiber production, electrospinning, 3D printing, and/or computer programming are desired. The candidate for this position will bring strong expertise and background in experimental design (including proper controls and statistical analysis of data).

The Karp Lab is a dynamic and fast paced environment that thrives on collaboration and ingenuity. We have a diverse, international talent pool, simultaneously working on multiple projects across several disease areas. We are focused on developing platform technologies supporting a broad range of potential applications in medicine and bioengineering. Our emphasis on translational research enables us to train the next generation of bioengineers and expand the boundaries of this exciting field. With that in mind, the Karp Lab looks for members with highly developed interpersonal skills who could contribute to our dynamic lab community.

Interested candidates should email: ahamilos at mit.edu<mailto:ahamilos at mit.edu> and include (1) a letter of intent, (2) updated CV, and (3) list of publications.
