Priložnost za zaposlitev mladega raziskovalca v podjetju Union Biometrica v Bostonu, ZDA

Ponuja se enkratna priložnost za mlade raziskovalce na področju biologije, ki radi delajo z ljudmi, imajo odlične komunikacijske sposobnosti ter radi potujejo.

Some doctoral students discover along the way that they really do not want to pursue an academic tenure track career or even devote their life to industrial research. Instead their fortes are people skills, communications and a desire to travel. Perhaps you have a student that fits this description and would like to help him/her explore alternate careers.  

We have an immediate opening in our Boston area HQ for:

• Recent PhD or MS with strong technical knowledge of biology, developmental biology preferable
• Excellent problem solving skills; prefers new challenges instead of routine
• Strong communicator, fluent in English
• Comfortable working both independently and together with teams
• Experience in flow cytometry is a plus but not required

Duties include new Applications Development and Technical Support during the sales process:

• Consulting with clients on a wide range of research problems to see if our instrumentation will facilitate & accelerate their research
• Presenting seminars, posters & techniques workshops
• Demonstrating the equipment with customer samples to provide proof of feasibility for grant applications
• Collaborating with leading academic labs to develop new applications methods to solve customer research problems. Summarizing results into promotional Tech Notes.
• New customer operational training and post-sales technical support
• Working with engineering to develop & evaluate new products
• 50%-60% travel

Union Biometrica is an equal opportunity employer.  We are a small team of highly motivated scientists / engineers designing and delivering specialty flow cytometers for high speed analysis and gentle sorting of objects which are too large (20-1,500 microns) and too fragile for traditional cytometers.  Examples include:

• small model organisms (C. elegans, D. melanogaster, zebrafish, etc)  
• large fragile cells/cell clusters (pancreatic islets, stem cells, adipocytes, hepatocytes, and duct cells)
• cells growing in/on beads and bead based libraries

Good people are our most important asset.  Resumes can be sent to dstrack@unionbio.com and visit us at www.unionbio.com

Thank you for your help.
