Job Description
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Department:Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics
Job Title: Laboratory Science Professional (Open Rank: Entry Principal)
Position #: Requisition #: 36652
Job Summary:
Our group takes an integrative approach that combines biophysical biochemical and biological methods to fully characterize macromolecular interactions that underlie disease progression. We utilize stateoftheart techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and cryoelectron microscopy (cryoEM) to investigate atomicresolution details of enzymes involved in infectious disease cancer and inflammation. Ongoing projects include:
- Bacterial proteases: Determining mechanisms of activation protease specificity and developing antimicrobial inhibitors.
- Bacterial metabolism: Characterizing novel metabolic enzymes.
- Cancer and inflammation: Investigating redox regulation and cellular signaling proteins.
- Enzyme dynamics: Studying allosteric mechanisms in key enzymes.
We are seeking a laboratory professional at any level who is motivated to apply and expand a wide array of experimental techniques. Training in specialized methods such as NMR and cryoEM will be provided as needed.
Examples of Duties Performed
- Molecular engineering (PCR)
- Recombinant protein expression and purification (FPLC HPLC)
- Gel electrophoresis (protein and DNA)
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonances (data collection spectral assignments relaxation experiments)
- EM/CryoEM (data collection refinement)
Additional Duties & Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with and support other investigators with laboratory and research functions
- Utilize a variety of laboratory techniques required for research projects
- Perform experiments and tabulate and analyze research
- Perform preanalytical analytical and post analytical test process and evaluate results produced
- Prepare lab for daily operations including stocking materials equipment safety cleanliness and related areas
- Dispose of laboratory materials and samples using well established guidelines and instructions
- Review complete and process logs documents databases and related materials and information
- Assist in the review and implementation of lab support policies practices and programs to meet organizational operations and management needs
Laboratory professionals in this position will work in an experimental (wet) lab environment handling biological samples and analyzing data using NMR and EM methods which require a strong level of computer skills.
Work Location:
Onsite this role is expected to work onsite and is located in Aurora CO.
Why Join Us:
Our department conducts research across a wide biological scale for fundamental scientific understanding with applications to many disease contexts. The overarching goal is to reach a level of molecular insight that helps develop therapeutic approaches to disease.
As biochemists and molecular geneticists we are amid an unprecedented time of discovery our conception of the molecular biology of cells is going from the equivalent of grainy blackandwhite to highresolution technicolor. From deciphering the choreography of transcription complexes chromosomes and RNA molecules within cells to developing novel approaches to 3D molecular structure determination to understanding how viruses hijack a cells machinery and alter its metabolome the researchers in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics (BMG) are at the forefronts of their fields both conceptually and technologically.
