# Scientist

Target PR Range: 29-39/hr DOE We are seeking a motivated and collaborative contract scientist to join an R&D imaging and image analysis team supporting research programs across multiple therapeutic and functional areas. Our group operates a high-content imaging core and partners with scientists throughout R&D to develop and execute imaging-based assays and enable quantitative cellular research. The successful candidate will be a strong experimentalist with hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture, cellular assay development and sample preparation. Previous microscopy and image analysis experience is important, but extensive experience with high-content imaging or specialized imaging techniques is not required. We are particularly interested in candidates who are comfortable at the bench, enjoy troubleshooting biological assays, and are eager to learn new imaging and quantitative analysis approaches. The scientist will contribute to both core imaging activities and collaborative research projects. Current research within the group includes quantitative imaging of immune synapse formation and other cell-cell interactions relevant to the development and characterization of T-cell
