Radiobiology Technologist

Can you see yourself supporting cutting‑edge research that helps uncover how ionizing radiation affects human and animal biological systems? In this role, you’ll maintain advanced molecular biology instruments, plan and execute experimental procedures, analyze results, and contribute to reports that support both internal programs and external clients. You’ll work hands‑on with a variety of techniques—from microscopy and flow cytometry to PCR and radiation exposure systems—while helping develop and refine SOPs, protocols, and quality‑controlled lab processes.

If you’re passionate about impactful research, meticulous lab work, and contributing to health‑focused scientific discovery, this is an exciting opportunity to make a difference. Apply today!
