Full Job Description
General Summary/Purpose:
The Research Technologist will work in a laboratory where the goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying etiopathophysiologies of a wide range of psychiatric disorders, such as intellectual disability, schizophrenia, depression, and age-related cognitive impairments. In particular, we investigate how genetic, environmental factors such as adolescent cannabis use and psychosocial stress, and aging affect stress-related biological signaling mechanisms, leading to impairment of brain development and function relevant to psychiatric disorders. Our research will also aim to identify new therapeutic targets and biological markers for early intervention of these devastating conditions.
After entry-level training under the general supervision of a faculty investigator, this position is responsible for supporting postdoctoral researchers to conduct experiments, independently performing routine tests in a pre-clinical research laboratory, and contributing to general maintenance of the laboratory, equipment and supplies.
Specific Duties & Responsibilities:
Design and perform experiments under supervision.
Responsible for mouse colony management, genotyping, and PCR.
Utilize in vivo rodent models in experiments. Following experimental protocols and in accordance with USDA and AALAC guidelines, monitor animals and maintain health records.
Sacrifice and dissect animal remains as required. Support the researchers to conduct behavioral experiments and analyze the data. Prepare tissue for study utilizing histochemical techniques.
Follow established procedures or protocols and utilize aseptic technique to perform laboratory experiments which may include basic tissue and cell culture, cell separation methods, electrophoretic separations, assays, basic molecular biology, or other specialized histology and biological science techniques.
Operate basic laboratory equipment such as centrifuge, pH meter, analytical balance, incubator, scintillation counter, spectrophotometer, light microscope, and/or utilizes laminar flow hood.
Operate lab computers for data entry and maintain accurate data records.
Assist with seminar preparations and other laboratory responsibilities.
In accordance with established policies and procedures, monitor inventory levels, order materials and supplies, and count orders upon receipt.
Maintain and make minor adjustments to equipment, e.g. calibrating, alignment.
Complete annual university biohazard/universal precaution/radiation safety training, as appropriate.
Use sterile techniques to avoid contaminating lab experiments.
Use universal safety precautions to protect self and co-workers from biohazardous materials, including blood-borne pathogens.
Prepare solutions, reagents, and stains following standard laboratory formulas and procedures.
Perform miscellaneous related duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications (mandatory):
Bachelor's degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, physics or related field.
Preferred Qualifications:
Some related post-undergraduate work experience preferred.
Experience in molecular biology and rodent husbandry/handling, brain histology, rodent behavioral analysis, bioinformatic analysis, and programming/engineering skills are preferred.
Must have a working knowledge of one or more of the following disciplines achieved through undergraduate studies and laboratory experience gained through coursework: neuroscience, biology, biochemistry, physics, virology, microbiology and/or genetics.
Additional relevant laboratory experience acquired through extracurricular activities or summer employment is very desirable.
