JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: We are seeking a highly
motivated candidate who wants to gain experience and training in
cellular and molecular biology research on epigenomics with a focus on
translational applications in precision medicine. A qualified candidate
is expected to have excellent references from research laboratory
experience(s) and be proficient in basic molecular biology research
methods including nucleic acid preparations, protein assays, cell
culture, and more. This technologist would be involved in NIH-funded
studies focused on molecular and cellular mechanisms of epigenomic
complexes that drive cellular identities in cancer development and/or
progression, as well as inflammatory diseases. The applicant will be
encouraged to present findings weekly at lab meetings with the potential
to grow and present at national scientific conferences. As such, the
candidate should be highly motivated, self-directed, and possess
excellent communication and writing skills. Purpose Under general
direction of lab management carryout, improve and implement a variety of
laboratory techniques and specific experiments to contribute to the
timely optimization of assays and production of data in a cellular and
molecular biology research laboratory. To analyze, summarize and present
data generated to a team of scientists with ability to provide feedback
for next steps. Primary Functions With general supervision, perform
routine and complex molecular genetic methodologies including DNA/RNA
extraction, PCR/qPCR, tissue culture (sterile techniques), manipulation
of primary cultures or cell lines (introduction of exogenous DNA) and
Western blots. Be able to carry out written protocols and optimize
procedures. Independently develop and perform lab research procedures
with guidance and oversight of the laboratory team. Be able to scale
protocols and assays to large volume or sample number requests.
Participate in meetings with laboratory director/managers and research
staff. Evaluate and interpret the validity of data as necessary. Monitor
inventory, prepare media and necessary reagents for experiments, and
carry out assigned duties for maintaining supply of reagents. Operate
and perform routine maintenance on specialized equipment used in the
laboratory. Notify management or director when complex problems occur.
Create and maintain accurate records of laboratory protocols and
experimental results, ensure they are updated in a timely fashion.
Records must be available to and understandable by all staff.
Communicate summaries of research projects in individual and group
meetings. Assist in maintenance, genotyping, For full info follow
