    Preferred Qualifications:

    • Experience with databases and/or computational workflows
    • Some experience working on autonomous experiments, or self-driving laboratories.
    • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
    • Motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently and to participate creatively in collaborative teams across the laboratory.
    • Ability to function well in a fast-paced research environment, set priorities to accomplish multiple tasks within deadlines, and adapt to ever changing needs.
