Your role in cutting edge reserach
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Technical Assistant (BTA/MTA/CTA or MSc) to join a preclinical neuroscience research group focusing on Parkinson’s disease and neurodegeneration. The position involves independent responsibility for laboratory organization and specialized experimental workflows, with a strong emphasis on immunohistochemistry (IHC), tissue processing, and image-based analysis. We are looking for individuals who work independently within the defined technical areas, contribute to the optimization of experimental procedures, and support the efficient operation of a dynamic research environment.
