Histotechnician/Histotechnologist

About the role

Put your histology skills to work supporting scientific research. As a Histotechnician/Histotechnologist, you’ll prepare high-quality tissue sections that enable accurate histopathologic evaluation and contribute to the success of research studies. This hands-on role offers opportunities to apply and strengthen your expertise in tissue processing, embedding, microtomy, and staining while building additional skills in tissue trimming, bone decalcification, and specialized necropsy procedures. Whether you bring established laboratory experience or are developing your histology career, you’ll contribute to a team focused on technical quality, reliable results, and continuous learning.

Responsibilities

• Prepare high-quality tissue specimens for histopathologic evaluation, following standard operating procedures (SOPs) and study protocols.
• Identify and trim fixed tissues, applying appropriate techniques to preserve the structures needed for evaluation.
• Perform paraffin tissue processing and embedding, selecting the correct tissue orientation to support optimal sectioning.
• Apply microtomy skills to produce consistent, high-quality sections from paraffin-embedded tissues.
• Perform routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and coverslipping, assessing slide quality throughout preparation.
• Troubleshoot specimen preparation, equipment, and workflow issues to maintain quality and minimize interruptions.
• Review raw data and laboratory documentation for accuracy; identify, document, and help resolve deviations from SOPs or study requirements.
• Operate and maintain laboratory equipment, documenting use and maintenance activities.
• Maintain a safe, organized laboratory and manage hazardous chemical disposal, lab-pack preparation, and associated
