As a Senior Research Assistant, you will be part of the Knight Precision Cancer Biofabrication Hub, which combines bioprinting and microfluidics methods and cancer biology to address complex problems in cancer research and treatment. We seek candidates with experience (Master's degree preferable) in Tissue Engineering, Biomaterials, Cell and Tissue Biofabrication, 3D printing and/or organs on-a-chip. General expertise on bioengineering, or a related field will be considered, and at least one year of industrial experience, preferably in 3D printing or biofabrication would be preferred. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated project management skills, including developing and implementing SOPs, and possess comprehensive laboratory research knowledge. Responsibilities include designing and implementing experiments, managing research studies independently, operating and supporting laboratory equipment, generating SOPs, and supervising students and Research Assistants. Additionally, the role involves assisting in experimental design, maintaining laboratory spaces and supplies, and organizing samples, datasets, and studies. Candidates should have a growth mindset and outstanding communication skills, be comfortable working individually and in collaborative teams, and contribute to the scientific direction and planning of projects within the Biofabrication Hub.

CEDAR is hiring a talented, motivated and highly interactive Senior Research Associate to participate in our growing electron microscopy (EM) research portfolio. You will use and expand on existing imaging pipelines—from sample preparation, to imaging, to post-processing of 2- and 3-dimensional light and electron microscopy datasets—to identify changes in cellular signaling networks that accompany cancer progression and drug resistance in model systems and clinical specimens.   A background in high-resolution EM is necessary, in particular, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Focused Ion Beam (FIB-SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Development and innovation of multi-modal imaging techniques and analyses, i.e. correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM), will be a central theme of projects. You will be working closely with an interdisciplinary team of biologists, engineers, microscopy experts, and computer scientists to characterize model cancer systems, clinical specimens, “lab-on-a chip” devices, and novel biotechnology using traditional 2D EM and volume EM.   This position requires comfort using commercially available software (Amira, Dragonfly, ImageJ, WebKnosses, Napari) and custom-built, deep-learning based software packages to help enable the large-scale image analysis of large EM datasets. Wet lab experience with respect to handling biological specimens and hazardous chemicals is needed. Experience with Python and knowledge of additional imaging modalities, such as confocal, light sheet, multiplexed immunofluorescence and super resolution fluorescence microscopy would be a bonus.   Applicants without a demonstrated track record of professional research outputs post-doctoral degree will be considered at the Research Associate level. 

CEDAR funds its own research projects, expediting the process of discovery. Our research is milestone-driven to ensure that each project is fulfilling its stated goals. CEDAR offers a unique opportunity for outstanding, driven, and creative postdoctoral fellows to perform cutting edge and high-risk research, ranging from understanding basic cancer biology to developing novel technologies to aid detection. Our focus on early detection requires novel approaches to reliably identify small/rare signals in diverse data types, with an emphasis on minimally invasive sampling techniques.   We are currently hiring for a highly motivated fellow with expertise in Computational Biology to work in the following areas. Candidate would primarily work with Dr. Ece Eksi, Assistant Professor in the Division of Oncological Sciences with affiliations in the Biomedical Engineering and Cell, Development and Cancer Biology departments. - Image computing – Performing analysis of existing imaging data sets of prostate tumor samples using established pipelines and developing novel machine learning approaches. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to analyze single-cell, multiplex imaging data sets and develop image computing pipelines to aid clinical decision-making processes in cancer diagnostics.  - Machine Learning/Statistics– Developing machine learning methods and spatial statistical models to study the organization of the cell types in the tumor microenvironment using cutting-edge spatial imaging datasets.  Developed algorithms will be used to build predictive temporal models for patient stratification. Techniques such as spatial auto-correlation, dimensionality reduction and clustering will be utilized.   - Single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics - Modeling and analyzing next-generation sequencing datasets that measure the transcriptome and the epigenome, specifically single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq. The successful candidate will use both existing tools and develop their own computational methods to analyze such datasets for the characterization of prostate and pancreatic tumors.
