The role also supports grant writing—both submissions and reports—and oversees safety programs to ensure documented compliance.
Assistant Scientist
We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with published experience in animal research, imaging, and/or histological techniques, with an exceptional background in molecular biology. The Poss lab utilizes zebrafish and, occasionally, mice as model systems to study regeneration of appendages, heart muscle, spinal cord, and other organ systems. The Assistant Scientist will support regenerative biology research objectives by conducting research on molecular genetics of tissue regeneration.
Assistant Research Specialist
The Sun group utilizes zebrafish, and, occasionally, mice as model systems to study regeneration of heart muscle and the crosstalk between organ systems during tissue regeneration. The primary focus of this position is regeneration research with duties involving (but not limited to) molecular biology, histology, surgeries, explant culture, imaging, microinjection, and imaging and analysis, with opportunities for co-authorships on published manuscripts.
Morgridge scientists and staff are deeply engaged with a world-class public university. We are a catalyst to take science further in collaborations with UW–Madison.
