Job Summary
The Levi lab oratory in the Division of Burn, Trauma, Acute and Critical Care Surgery in the Department of Surgery has an opening for a Research Engineer. The Levi lab's mission is to improve the lives of people living with skin and musculoskeletal injuries and diseases through rigorous science and compassion. Current projects in the Levi laboratory are related to the molecular biology behind tissue fibrosis and the repair and regeneration process in tendon, muscle, and bone. The laboratory integrates multiomics-based approaches with investigations of musculoskeletal development, homeostasis, repair, and regeneration. The laboratory uses transgenic animal models combined with bioinformatic approaches to understand the cell-cell interactions that occur within the stem cell niche under physiological conditions and strives to understand how these divergent signaling mechanisms may guide future therapeutic strategies to promote faithful repair of damaged tissue.
The Levi Lab looking is for a Research Engineer to join the team and be willing to commit to at least two years. The Research Engineer will need to have extensive training in optical imaging and development of programs used for imaging of human tissue. The job will require training in model development and testing as well as the ability to interpret, organize, and present data. The ideal person will need to be comfortable with manuscript writing and figure presentations. They will also need to be a leader, comfortable with leading a team of scientists and directing a
