Hi all!

I'm a research technician in the Hahn Lab at the Broad Institute and also the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I'll be leaving my job for medical school this summer, and we're looking for a replacement -- https://careers-dfci.icims.com/jobs/14158/research-technician/job.

Here's three reasons why I highly recommend this position:

1. The research is amazing. I'm studying pancreatic cancer, and among my several projects, I am helping to validate novel cancer dependencies/targets, studying novel compounds and their effects on cancer cell viability, and performing drug tests on patient tumor samples to help guide clinical decision-making. This work is highly relevant and has the potential to impact patient care. Plus, I'm working mostly with 3D organoid cultures, which is super hot these days.

2. My post-doc is a phenomenal mentor. In addition to teaching me the science stuff, he spent a lot of time with my career development. He's an MD/PhD and MIT alum who splits his time doing research and seeing patients, so he really taught me what it means to be a physician-scientist. He was also very active in helping me write my med school application and prepare for interviews, which was great.

3. You'll really like your lab mates. They're friendly, funny, and super willing to help you learn new techniques or troubleshoot or deal with any other problems that might arise in lab. Also, my PI (Bill Hahn) is a great scientist, a supportive mentor, and has a history of pumping out successful trainees. So you'll definitely be in good hands.

So if you're interested in cancer research, applying to MD or MD/PhD or PhD programs, or want to work with really smart and cool people, you should check out our job posting! Or if you have any questions, feel free to email me at rng at broadinstitute.org<mailto:rng at broadinstitute.org>.
