Job Description
Sets up and performs routine and established lab procedures in support of lab goals grant commitments i.e. assays cell/tissue culture animal studies etc. Monitors results reports unusual outcomes and suggests modifications. Collects enters and summarizes data. Assists in the maintenance of lab equipment and supplies. Performs basic statistical data analysis; prepares tables/charts/graphs and assists in organizing data. Presents at research laboratory meetings and contributes to writing of manuscripts. Works under supervision and may perform some assignments independently as discussed and approved by Principal Investigator.
Qualifications
Requires bachelors degree in biology chemistry other relevant science or an associates degree with 6 years of relevant laboratory experience. Must exhibit a solid understanding of lab techniques equipment and safety. Must have the ability to organize and carry out laboratory techniques independently and in a team setting. Experience with basic data analysis is required. This position requires demonstrated writing skills.
Preferred Additional Experience and/or Qualifications:
The Sammarco lab focuses on limb regeneration after traumatic injury investigating mechanisms underlying impaired regeneration and identifying therapeutics to activate latent regenerative abilities or improve the integration of prosthetics. The overall goal is to improve quality of life for people with limb loss or limb differences. Dr. Sammarco and her team in the Limb and Musculoskeletal Regenerative Research Laboratory use a mouse model of digit tip amputation to understand the complex interactions of a multitissue regenerative system and identify the mechanisms that drive cell differentiation and patterning during the regenerative process. Current projects focus on 1 mitochondrial remodeling and metabolism during limb regeneration and patterning 2 the role of sensory nerves in bone and soft tissue regeneration and 3 the impact of inflammation during regenerative healing and fibrotic scarring.
The Research Technologist would support ongoing bench and animal work within the lab related to regeneration. Duties would include routine molecular bench work combined with use of animal models (animal handling injections surgeries sample collection) as well as downstream processing (histology flow cytometry cell culture) under supervision of the PI. Candidate should be highly goal and detail oriented and have strong teamwork skills. Training will be provided on many inlab techniques but previous experience working with mice and some molecular technique is highly preferred.
Masters degree in biology chemistry or other relevant science preferred. Mouse breeding colony and handling experience is a plus. Prior exposure to molecular techniques such as immunohistochemistry cell culture assays and qPCR is helpful but not necessary. Familiarity with GraphPad and Adobe Illustrator is helpful but not necessary. Personnel will be fully trained in all additional techniques within the lab.
