We offer a job for technical assistance with a salary between 800.000 and 900.000 chilean $ (depending on previous experience of the candidate). The candidate should be a biologist, biotechnologist, biochemist or similar. He/she will be involved in a project aimed at developing a cellular biosensor to diagnose monopolar depression versus bipolar disorder (in its depressive phase). For this, we are developing a cellular sensor that detects pro-inflammatory cargo (proteins, miRNAs) present in extracellular vesicles derived from the plasma of these patients. In addition, Raman spectroscopy will be applied to the vesicle samples. We plan to advance with machine learning and to end up with diagnostic prototypes.
Working place: Centro de Investigación e Innovación Biomédica, Universidad de los Andes, Av La Plaza 2501, Santiago, Las Condes, Región Metropolitana.
Research objective: The objective of the work and research is to develop new deep learning (DL) based knee MR image segmentation and analysis methods to aid early diagnosis, kinesiological prevention, regeneration monitoring and rehabilitation.
Job Description:
- Perform a literature review of the state of the art in DL-based knee MRI segmentation and análisis
- Perform a review of available public knee MRI databases
- Collect, curate and prepare data provided by our clinical collaborators at Universidad de los Andes
- Implement and evaluate the most promising DL methods on public data and Chilean patient data. It is necessary to have experience and a high interest in performing scientific research. It is also necessary to understand signal processing and deep learning, it is desirable, but not necessary, to have knowledge in MRI. In our group there are researchers who can provide specific expertise in each of these topics. Finally, we are looking for someone who has a high interest in learning, who is responsible, proactive and willing to collaborate.
Term and conditions: This offer is for one year, but it should be noted that within the IMPACT Center we have several research areas so there are high possibilities of extending the work, depending on the capabilities and interests of the candidate. The economic conditions will be according to the market and the candidate’s capabilities.
Other Opportunities. Opportunities and funding are available for Master’s or Doctoral theses on this topic.

Interventional Medicine for Precision and Advanced Cellular Therapy (IMPACT) is a center of excellence dotted with joint public and private funding. IMPACT is a translational and clinical research center that aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and clinical practice in Chile through the development of advanced therapies.
The Center’s clinical areas cover immunological, osteoarticular, neurological, cancer and pregnancy-associated pathologies. We are looking for new member to join our team and help us to accomplish our vision in making advanced medicine more accessible. The first challenge would be to develop frontier research in translational Immuno-Oncotherapy, cell therapy product development, clinical-grade production system, and pre-clinical studies documentation.
What Does This Role Involve?
- Independently conducts cancer immunology and drug discovery research experiments using techniques in immunology, molecular and cellular biology
- Assesses and reports data with little guidance in a clear and concise manner with a strong understanding of its implications within the overall context of cll therapy concept
- Maintains a well-developed understanding of approaches to investigate the function of lymphoid cells and aspects of drug discovery
- Is an active member of the team liaising between programs/research lines and sharing scientific knowledge and feedback on other’s experiments to ensure the efficient relay of information and translation of data
- Ensures own work and work of peers is compliant with Good Laboratory Practice, Safety, Health and Environment standards and all other relevant internal IMPACT center standards
- May be asked to lead or co-lead a project team and contribute to grant and patent filing as well as for scientific publication goals
Your skills and talent:
- Identified “life purpose” or “raison d’être” in relation to your talents, passions, and profession, as well as what you can contribute to the society.
- PHD or Postdoctoral experience research on immunotherapy.
- Experience in lymphocyte culture, more than 3 years.
- Experience in gene transduction, more than 2 years.
- Knowledge in the elaboration of SOPs.
- A notion of GMP manufacturing would be considered a plus.
You don’t need to wait for permission to succeed. The question isn’t who is going to let you, it’s who is going to stop you. Maybe it all starts with an “IMPACT” job.
