Hands-on experience in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and with imaging and biodistribution studies would be an asset. Enthusiasm to learn novel techniques and concepts is anticipated.
A successful candidate should contribute to an environment, which favors safe laboratory practice and high scientific ethical standards. Good interpersonal and communication skills (oral and written) are prerequisites. 


Location:

The work place will be located in the all-new Skaggs Pharmacy Research Building with access to state of the art scientific facilities.
The campus of the University of Utah is close to downtown Salt Lake City. This setting combines the amenities of a metropolitan area with the world-class outdoor recreational activities Utah has to offer. Salt Lake City is also nearby some of the most iconic landmarks of the USA.
