Research Technician C

The Hormigo Laboratory at Albert Einstein College of Medicine develops personalized immunotherapies for advancing cancer treatment , working across the full pipeline from discovery to early clinical development. We are looking for a Research Technician C to join a collaborative, translational team working directly with human samples and immune-based assays.

This is an excellent role for someone with strong bench skills who wants exposure to cutting-edge immunotherapy research and a pathway toward graduate or medical school, or long-term research careers.

To contribute to ongoing immunotherapy projects by:

• Processing human blood samples (PBMC and serum isolation)
• Performing tissue culture using rigorous sterile technique
• Cryopreserving and recovering primary cells
• Running and supporting immune assays, including:
• Flow cytometry
• ELISPOT
• Cytotoxicity assays
• Cytokine analysis
• T cell assays
• Differentiating immune cell populations (PBMC-based work)
• Preparing samples for tissue imaging
• Supporting in vitro and in vivo experimental workflows
• Maintaining clear, accurate lab records and protocols
• Presenting data at internal lab meetings
• Help maintain lab operations (ordering supplies, tracking inventory)
• Assist with equipment purchasing (quotes, vendor coordination)
• Support optimization or modification of protocols O
• occasionally train or guide junior lab members
• Contribute to data organization and light analysis
• Participate in manuscripts or grant preparation (as appropriate)

• Bachelors degree in biology, immunology, or related field with 2 to 4.5 years of related experience
• Hands-on experience with cell culture and sterile technique is preferred
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail is desirable;

• Experience with flow cytometry, ELISPOT, or immune assays is preferred
• Familiarity with human sample processing (PBMCs) is preferred
• Proficiency in basic molecular biology skills
• Exposure to data analysis tools (e.g., FlowJo, Prism) is preferred
