<p style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;color:blue">The STTARR Image Analysis Core (<a href="http://www.sttarr.com/core4">http://www.sttarr.com/core4</a>) is
looking to hire a technician for histology quantification and analysis.  </span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:black"></span></p>

<p style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;color:blue">The position will involve working on a custom image analysis
application to identify and separate regions of tumor from normal tissue, and
perform automated cell counting and quantitative analysis on multiple tissue
sections stained using standard immunohistochemistry techniques.  The technician will be expected to have a
basic understanding of histological anaylsis, in order to discriminate
different tissues by eye and guide the machine towards identifying appropriate
regions.  The technician will work
directly with clients to identify which regions are of interest, then perform
the analysis, and provide the results of the quantification back to the clients
in spreadsheet format.  The ideal
candidate will have a good basic knowledge of cellular biology and histology,
and some computer experience, particularly with image editing programs such as
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and also knowledge of how to build and work
with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.  The
ideal candidate would also possess good communication skills, and be able to
adapt their work to the needs of prospective clients from a variety of
backgrounds, in a professional and prompt manner.  Abilities to work quickly and efficiently,
and maintain high standards of quality of work, and handle multiple projects
simultaneously, is highly desired.</span></p>
