  • Perform immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) on tissue sections
  • Acquire high-quality images using epifluorescence and/or confocal microscopy
  • Perform in vivo and ex vivo fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging using IVIS or equivalent small-animal imaging systems, including organ collection, image acquisition, and quantitative analysis of signal intensity and tissue distribution.
  • Conduct quantitative image analysis (cell counts, regional MFI, colocalization analysis, morphometric quantification) using software such as ImageJ, QuPath, Halo, or equivalent platforms.

Molecular Biology

  • Perform measurement of gene and protein expression analyses using qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and ELISA methodologies and interpret data
  • Report results clearly to the scientific team

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Strong hands-on experience with rodent in vivo studies

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
