Job Description:
The Research Associate position requires extensive hands-on experience in a variety of complex experimental procedures involving molecular biology, genomics, epigenetics, and bioinformatics to participate in autism research. The research will involve reporter plasmid preparation to develop a high-throughput screening assay based on reporter gene expression, as well as epigenetics analyses, including DNA methylation and histone modifications of a specific
autism susceptibility gene in response to environmental triggers. The successful candidate should also be willing to train junior researchers in the standard laboratory protocols and to help in laboratory/equipment maintenance.
Minimum Qualifications:
The ideal candidate will have at least a Master’s degree with extensive and relevant laboratory experience or a Ph.D. in a related field (e.g., genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and biology). Compensation will be commensurate with prior research experience and qualifications.
Desired Qualifications:
PhD in a related field (e.g. genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, biology)
Special Instructions to Applicants:
Job Duties
Function:
The primary duties of the successful candidate will be performing experiments and related data analysis directly related to the gene-environment interaction studies outlined in the grant.
Function:
Training of new Master’s students, as needed.
Function:
Laboratory maintenance, including ordering supplies and keeping standard laboratory equipment in working condition.
Function:
Performs all other duties as assigned.
