You will work as a central operations resource within our technology transfer office. Your primary objective will be to ensure absolute data integrity, optimize databases, draft Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and translate data-driven process changes for students, faculty, and staff. This hybrid role balances technical process engineering with active peer education, providing a strong foundation for future roles in operations, consulting, or data systems.
