Important Immigration information:
A Presidential proclamation issued on September 19, 2025, imposes a $100,000 fee on new H-1B petitions filed after September 21, 2025. Please be advised that Texas A&amp;M University will NOT pay this fee. Therefore, if you need immigration sponsorship for your employment, we recommend that you consult with your private immigration counsel at your own expense to ascertain whether your current immigration status would make a potential offer of employment from Texas A&amp;M University subject to this fee.

Meat Science Laboratory Technician

Tufts University

<div>Overview:

The faculty in MBM are united by a common interest in the biology of microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) and the effects of microbes on human and animal hosts. The microbial pathogens program studies microorganisms that cause infectious diseases, with emphasis on rigorous analysis of these pathogens and the immune responses that restrict them. Program investigators direct detailed studies of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and eukaryotic parasites. Research topics include structural analysis of virus entry, viral evolution, viral oncogenes, intracellular bacterial pathogens, microorganisms that cause diarrhea and pneumonia, intracellular signaling, pathogen adhesion, genetic determinants involved in susceptibility to infection, vaccine development, and identification of novel antimicrobial agents.
What You'll Do:
<div>Under close supervision of the principal investigator, other lab members, and senior scientists in collaborating labs who are familiar with the techniques required, the Research Technician may conduct a variety of experiments using a variety of skills, which may include culturing bacterial and mammalian cells, making mesoscale and high-throughput measurements of treatment responses, quantitative analysis, performing medium-scale microscopy experiments, Python or Matlab programming, synthesizing information from the published literature, and use and development of machine learning algorithms. In these capacities, the Research Technician will also record test results and analyze data using statistics. High- and meso-throughout experiments are designed using custom software in the lab; after learning how to design experiments from others in the lab, the Research Technician should be able to design experiments using Python and Matlab.
