Job Description:
The Department of Otolaryngology at Stanford University School of Medicine seeks a Life Science Research Assistant (LSRA) to join the laboratory of Dr. Grillet (https://grilletlab.stanford.edu/). The successful candidate will participate in the discovery of the molecular mechanisms of Hearing and the identification of genes leading to deafness. The laboratory is using a wide range of scientific approaches such as the use of Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Fluorescent Microscopy, Transmission Electronic Microscopy, Scanning Electronic Microscopy, Histology, Electrophysiology, and Developmental Biology or Mouse Genetics.
The LSRA will be responsible for :
- Conducting a variety of experiments utilizing molecular biology, biochemistry, and cellular biology
- Providing technical support and training to other laboratory personnel. - Maintaining detailed experimental records
- Maintaining the lab logistics (Stock buffer, washing glassware, autoclaving supplies, inventory, Health &; safety regulation compliances)
- Maintaining the mouse colony (logs, breeding, weaning, tag/tailing) Performing ongoing literature review to stay current with new procedures in the field
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in biological sciences or related field
- 1 year of research experience in academia or/and industry
- Excellent understanding of the eukaryotic cellular and molecular biology
- Excellent understanding of the theory behind the experimental procedures
- Ability to plan, conduct & modify experiments; passion in Science
- Ability to work under deadlines with general guidance and excellent communication skills
- Meticulous, highly organized, ability to work independently, willingness to learn; team player
- Knowledge of basic computer programs routinely used in a lab and ability to quickly learn and master computer programs.
Required proficiency with the following techniques:
- General mouse colony maintenance (breeding, weaning and handling of animals)
- Molecular Biology (DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, primer design)
- Cellular Biology (transfection and maintenance of cell lines)
- Biochemistry (Western blot)
Desired:
- Master’s degree in biological sciences or related field
- 2 years of research experience in academia or/and industry
Desired proficiency with the following techniques:
