Job Type:
Full Time
Job Code:
79939BR
Job SummaryDr. England's research laboratory (https://pharm.ucsf.edu/england) is developing small molecules to control the activity of nuclear receptors, a class of ligand-regulated transcription factors that play critical roles in human health and disease. The Biologist will characterize the effects of small molecules on the activity of nuclear receptors using cellular assays, including luciferase reporter assays and gene transcription assays (RTqPCR), work up and analyze data (including statistical analyses).
Other aspects of the project may involve developing DNA constructs to explore various aspects of nuclear receptor functioning in cells and characterizing ligand effects on the localization and trafficking of nuclear receptors using appropriate microscopic imaging tools and techniques. Must have prior research laboratory experience, be proficient in aseptic techniques, and be willing/able to design and troubleshoot experiments.
Required Qualifications
BA/BS in related science including
one year
of recent/directly related work experience utilizing the techniques/methods required by the position; and/or equivalent experience/training.
At least one year of experience working with cultured and/or primary cells and carrying out cellular assays in a research laboratory (college laboratory courses are
not
sufficient).
Preferred Qualifications
PhD in cellular and molecular biology or related field.
Knowledge and/or experience with biophysical methods including microscale thermophoresis (MST), Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET), and fluorescence polarization (FP) assays.
