The role will involve work on molecular biology, high dimensional flow cytometry, imaging and sequencing-based technologies. The successful applicant will be expected to be able to perform experimental design, technique trouble-shooting, data generation and analysis. The job holder should have experience at either neuroscience or immunology, with neuroimmunology, T cell or microglia experience an asset.
