Research Assistant | Laboratory of Chemistry and Cell Biology
About The Position
We study molecular mechanisms required for the stable propagation of our genomes with the goal of developing new therapies to treat cancer. Errors in cell division have been linked to diseases and developmental defects in humans. We combine the discovery and use of chemical probes, synthetic chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, and quantitative cell biology to answer long-standing questions relating to cell division. Studying cell division also provides us an opportunity to develop new approaches for the analysis of other complex cellular mechanisms. Overview Supervised by a senior scientist, the Research Assistant will work on a team project focusing on protein biochemistry.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in science required; educational emphasis in molecular biology, structural biology or biochemistry preferred.
- Previous laboratory experience in molecular biology and biochemistry preferred.
- Must have the ability to work effectively as part of a dynamic team with a goal of reaching challenging milestones in a timely manner, as well as the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Nice To Haves
- Structural biology and protein biochemistry experience is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Performing protein purification and various biochemical assays
- Conducting protein biochemistry and molecular biology techniques including
- Preparation of recombinant DNA
