Job Description
Science is developing technologies for a range of serious unmet medical needs. We are unafraid to take difficult technical risks, secure in the knowledge that with a clear understanding of what we are doing and with support from powerful modern tools, more progress is possible than might be immediately obvious. Regardless of role or team, the two most important factors we look for in a candidate are evidence of exceptional ability and the addition of positive energy to the group. As a small, very early stage team in a largely unstructured environment, the ability to independently orient yourself to the problems that need to be solved and then follow through is essential.

The Ophthalmic Technician will work closely with our team of research scientists and veterinary staff to perform procedures according to standard operating procedures in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) to support our goal of performing first-in-human clinical studies.
Role & responsibilities:
- Perform ophthalmic examinations (slit lamp, intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness)
- Perform electrophysiological recordings (ERG)
- Perform ophthalmic imaging (OCT, funduscopy)
- Assist in necropsies
- Prepare samples for molecular biology (blood serum handling and analysis)
- Follow all Standard Operating Procedures and protocols
- Perform procedures at GLP standard
Key qualifications:
- Experience with large animal research models
- Experience with ophthalmic research procedures
- Proficient in sterile technique
- Good organizational skills and the ability to keep accurate records
- Excellent communications and ability to work collaboratively as part of a team
Preferred qualifications:
- GLP experience
- Experiencing performing histology
- Experience with microscopy

Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
