We are looking for a research assistant excited about translational research to join the Daniel Anderson/Robert Langer lab at the Koch Institute of Integrative Cancer Research, MIT to support research projects on developing medical devices for treating diabetes. This is a highly interdisciplinary project at the intersection of device engineering, materials science, and bioengineering; and involves multiple collaborations. The role will involve microfabrication, device assembly, in vitro prototyping, and preclinical evaluation in rodent and swine models. In addition, the person will be expected to maintain accurate laboratory records, and stock laboratory supplies. This is a great opportunity for engineers interested in gaining research experience in an interdisciplinary area combining engineering with translational research before applying for graduate/medical school. This position will be located at MIT.
