The Flowers Lab (flowerslab.org) is focused on understanding the very early stages of Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis, and using this knowledge for the effective diagnosis and treatment of AD. One of the main focuses of the lab is understanding the impact of the glycoprotein, Apolipoprotein E (APOE), on the early pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and how APOE genotype impacts AD treatment. APOE is the most significant genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease; despite this, there is a lot we do not understand about how APOE conveys this risk. We use human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), mouse models, and advanced technologies including mass spectrometry to better understand the changes that occur in AD. We are searching for a new lab member to aid us with this important work.
Position Summary
This individual (Lab Tech or Specialist/varying levels depending on experience) will be responsible for and help facilitate research related to understanding the significance of APOE in biomarker studies and drug studies including with benfotiamine. They will be responsible for carrying out studies using AD mouse models and maintenance of the mouse colony. They will also be involved in culturing and differentiation of iPSCs into a range of cell types as well as carrying out cell, biochemical and molecular biology assays. They will prepare samples for mass spectrometric analyses and work with a range of patient and iPSC-derived samples. The candidate will work with other members of the group invested in this project to maintain cells, carry out experiments, analyze data, as well as documenting and reporting on results to the group. A smaller part of this role will involve routine but important lab maintenance and administration tasks.
Responsibilities
The individual hired for this position will work closely with Dr. Flowers, Dr. Fernandez and other lab members. They will attend lab meetings weekly and project meetings weekly or more often as necessary. They will be trained and receive guidance on a day-to-day basis to facilitate the goals of the project and ensure their training. The individual hired is expected to interact professionally and collegially with all lab members including graduate and undergraduate students, treating all lab members with respect and consideration. The hired individual can expect to work in a respectful, open and supportive environment focused on doing good science. There will be many opportunities to learn a range of lab skills. The successful candidate should possess excellent attention to detail and strong problem solving and record-keeping skills. They will be a clear and open communicator and be motivated to learn new laboratory skills and contribute to the goals of the lab. They will be careful in the lab with their own work and the work of others. Knowledge of basic cell biology and biochemistry is required. Demonstrated experience working with mice and maintaining a mouse colony is highly preferred. Any experience with biochemical or cell-based assays, mass spectrometry and molecular biology techniques such as PCR would also be an advantage. Any previous experience in neuroscience, Alzheimer’s disease or APOE research would be highly advantageous.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Education: High school diploma or equivalent required.
Experience: At least 1 year of lab experience, which may include student experience required.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS
This position can spend extensive periods of time standing and squatting while conducting experiments or caring for animals. Also requires keyboarding and other bench work and animal procedures requiring finer finger manipulation.
POSITION TYPE & WORK LOCATION
This is a restricted position, which is dependent on funding and is contingent upon funding availability.
This position is based in Charlottesville, VA, and must be performed fully on-site.

Which education employers in Virginia sponsor E-3 visas?
Universities and colleges are the most consistent E-3 sponsors in Virginia's education sector. George Mason University, Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia, and Northern Virginia Community College have track records of sponsoring professional and academic staff. Private K-12 schools and edtech companies headquartered in the Northern Virginia corridor also sponsor E-3 workers, though sponsorship availability varies by role, budget cycle, and institutional hiring policy.
Which cities in Virginia have the most education E-3 sponsorship jobs?
Northern Virginia, particularly Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria, concentrates the highest volume of education E-3 roles due to proximity to major universities, federal education contractors, and a dense population of edtech companies. Richmond is Virginia's second-strongest market, supported by Virginia Commonwealth University and several private institutions. Charlottesville and Blacksburg have smaller but active academic hiring markets through the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech respectively.
What types of education roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship in Virginia?
Roles that meet the E-3 specialty occupation standard require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field directly related to the position. In Virginia's education sector, this typically includes instructional designers, curriculum developers, educational researchers, higher education administrators, academic advisors with specialized qualifications, and postsecondary teaching positions. General teaching assistant roles or positions where any degree field satisfies the requirement are less likely to qualify under E-3 specialty occupation criteria.
How do I find education E-3 sponsorship jobs in Virginia?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find education E-3 sponsorship jobs in Virginia, with listings filtered specifically by visa type and state so you're only seeing roles where employers have indicated sponsorship willingness. Searching by the Education category within Virginia surfaces university, K-12, and edtech positions across the Northern Virginia corridor, Richmond, and Charlottesville without wading through listings that don't sponsor E-3 visas.
Are there any Virginia-specific considerations for E-3 sponsorship in education?
Virginia's proximity to Washington D.C. means many education employers, particularly in Northern Virginia, operate on federal contract cycles that influence hiring timelines and budget availability for sponsorship. Public universities in Virginia are state institutions, and their ability to sponsor E-3 workers can be affected by state legislative budget sessions, which typically run January through March. Applicants targeting academic roles should account for these funding cycles when timing their job search and applications.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 education jobs in Virginia?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
