Staff Research Associate 2 - Cell Culture
National Medical Association, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
Description
The Staff Research Associate will support Lawrence Lab (Lawrence-lab.org) research in the areas of cell culture and cell signaling, and with experience will have the opportunity to contribute to research projects in the lab and to author publications. Responsibilities include cell culture of mammalian cell lines including human cancer cell lines and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), as well as iPSC-derived astrocytes. The work will also involve basic molecular biology approaches such as cloning of plasmids, preparation of buffers and solutions, RT-PCR, immunostaining, RNA FISH, immunostaining and immunoblotting, and preparing weekly summaries of experiments and cell lines. The work will also involve live cell imaging, the generation of modified induced pluripotent stem cell lines and genomics analyses, and experience in cell culture is essential. The candidate will be required to coordinate and work together as a team with undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and project scientists.Salary: $28.88 - $46.46 hourlyQualifications
REQUIREDBS in Molecular Biology or related field.Previous experience working in a laboratory setting and conducting research.Ability to work independently.Working skills with basic molecular biology laboratory equipment.Ability to perform several tasks at once, communicate clearly and work in a team environment. Ability to learn new methods and protocols.Knowledge of cell culture, including human pluripotent stem cell cultures, genotyping, and immunofluorescence is highly valuable.Must be responsible and able to work independently, without close supervision.Knowledge of PC and Macintosh computers, spreadsheet and word processing programs.Ability to perform basic technical duties such as logging in reagents and data analyses.High organizational skills; Ability to organize lab stocks and keep careful records in lab databases and lab notebooks.PREFERREDGeneral knowledge of cell and molecular biology.Previous experience in managing basic laboratory safety protocols highly desirable.
