Job Description:
Assistant Research Professor to head C. elegans Intervention Testing Project Position will organize and coordinate a team of researchers who test the role of pharmacological interventions on C. elegans lifespan and healthspan, participating directly in screen studies and data analysis. Job is to head an effort for anti-aging drug discovery that involves simultaneous reproducing of studies at three distinct sites (Rutgers, U. Oregon, Buck Institute for Aging Research). Job entails planning, executing, and monitoring health span and lifespan experiments, for C. elegans N2 and natural variants, including database entry analysis of results; maintaining worm strains with meticulous attention to detail; organizing at least 4 Rutgers lab technicians dedicated to the project. Data collection and interpretation, including manuscript writing will be involved. Skills needed: C. elegans biology in general; experience in management of lab supplies, experience in coordinating and prioritizing multiple work demands, experience in database entry and management; C. elegans culture, lifespan, management and coordinating groups of researchers. Outstanding communication skills, outstanding management skills, ability to multitask and prioritize, statistical experience (desired), strong computer skills a plus, experience in File Maker Pro, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Prism graph pad, Matlab, Endnote useful.
