Research Technician I-II, Antibody Technology Resource

Cures Start Here. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home to three Nobel laureates, interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists seek new and innovative ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch’s pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer. An independent, nonprofit research institute based in Seattle, Fred Hutch houses the nation’s first cancer prevention research program, as well as the clinical coordinating center of the Women’s Health Initiative and the international headquarters of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. Careers Start Here.

The Fred Hutch Antibody Technology lab is recognized internationally as a one of the most technically advanced academic groups in monoclonal antibody discovery. In addition to developing diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies for Fred Hutch research programs, the team coordinates external collaborations with academic and industrial clients on approximately 40 novel antibody discovery campaigns annually. Over the past four years the lab has integrated over $2.5M in laboratory automation and high-throughput screening technology for monoclonal antibody discovery. 

 

The team is currently seeking a highly motivated individual to fill a Research Technician I or II position depending on years of education and experience. The position may be ideal for a recent BA/BS, MA, or PhD graduate seeking unique experience in high-throughput screening of biologics, laboratory automation, and molecular engineering of antibody compositions for potential diagnostics and therapeutics. The ability to work independently on multiple projects simultaneously is essential.

 

Specific responsibilities include:

The successful candidate must be highly motivated, reliable, and independently productive with a BA/BS, MS, or PhD degree in a scientific discipline (biology, chemistry, engineering, or computer science). Some hands-on laboratory experience is preferred but is not essential as the work is specialized. Knowledge of specialized software applications (Tecan EVOWare, ClonePix Fusion, IntelliCyt ForeCyt, UNICORN, Thermo Momentum, Geneious, Liquid Planner) is a plus, however having a strong interest to master these applications is essential.
