| Aspect | Wistar | Laboratory Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically no formal certification required, but experience with animal handling is preferred | Often requires an associate degree or certification in laboratory procedures |
| Work Environment | Research labs, animal facilities, pharmaceutical companies | Hospitals, research labs, diagnostic labs |
| Job Responsibilities | Animal care, breeding, and management of Wistar rats for research | Performing tests, preparing samples, maintaining lab equipment |
| Industry Usage | Primarily in biomedical research involving Wistar rats | Broadly used across various scientific and medical labs |
The main difference between a Wistar and a Laboratory Technician is that a Wistar is a specific breed of rat used in research, while a Laboratory Technician is a professional who performs laboratory tasks across various settings. Wistars are animals, whereas Laboratory Technicians are human professionals working with samples and equipment.

The Wistar Institute has an opening for a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Vincent Wu. The Wu laboratory is opening at The Wistar Institute in December 2025, focusing on understanding the phenotypes of HIV infected cells and how it relates to proviral epigenetics for developing potent and specific latency reversal strategies. These strategies include the development of HIV DNA specific approaches with targeted mRNA-LNPs.
We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow to work at the intersection of molecular biology and bioinformatics by using single-cell multiomics to better understand the epigenetics of the HIV reservoir. The successful candidate will have experience with T cell immunology, extensive hands-on skills in basic tissue culture and molecular biology (PCR, qPCR, ddPCR, etc.), and next-generation sequencing. Strong expertise with single cell assays, epigenetic assays, and/or bioinformatics (familiarity with operating within Unix systems and experience with Python/R) is highly desirable.
A PhD in immunology, cell/molecular biology, or bioinformatics is required. Candidates should have at least one first-author peer-reviewed publication. In addition to the online application, interested individuals should apply by submitting a CV, one-page cover letter outlining the reason for their scientific interest in the lab and career goals, as well as names and contact information for at least 3 references to Dr. Vincent Wu, vwu@wistar.org.
We offer a competitive salary and excellent benefits package.
