Job Description
Research in the Bourret laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction by two-component regulatory systems in bacteria as a proof of principle for using bioinformatics methods of protein sequence analysis to drive experimental design. We are especially interested in kinetic and functional heterogeneity within protein domains. Methods will mostly involve protein purification and measurement of enzyme kinetics. With suitable training and close supervision the employee might perform experiments using 32P radioisotopes. Participation in weekly group meetings to describe results as well as discuss results of other lab members is expected. The position is expected to last for about one year.
Required Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Must be able to work and communicate well with other lab members. Must be able to keep accurate notes of experiments performed. Must have good time management skills. Must be able to work with minimal supervision following appropriate training. Must have the flexibility to occasionally work briefly on nights or weekends to keep experiments progressing in a timely manner. Must be able to use Microsoft Office (Word Excel Powerpoint).
Preferred Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Laboratory research experience outside of coursework is strongly preferred. Laboratory research experience in biochemistry molecular biology and/or microbiology is not essential but would be viewed favorably. Exposure to course work in a discipline related to biology or chemistry is strongly preferred. Chemistry coursework through organic chemistry is preferred. Mathematics coursework through calculus is preferred. Familiarity with bioinformatics methods and software for analysis of protein sequences and structures would be an asset. Familiarity with GraphPad Prism statistical analysis software would be an asset.
