Job Summary
Position Summary
The Khan Lab studies the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in neural cells and how these pathways go awry in neurodegenerative diseases (i.e. Alzheimers Parkinsons Tauopathies). We are currently investigating the structure and function of neural primary cilia in disease states. The lab is seeking a Research Technician to assist with rodent handling (colony management perfusions and brain tissue sections) cell culture (iPSC and fibroblast-derived neurons and astrocytes) molecular assays and cloning (i.e. RNA in situ hybridization plasmid vector construction) microscopy (i.e. confocal Airyscan super-resolution imaging) and DNA / RNA /protein isolation for -omics based analyses. The Research Technician will also perform data analysis and must maintain detailed laboratory records. It is also expected that the Research Technician will assist the lab with basic management duties.
Required Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Wet lab experience Rodent handling ability Cell culture experience Basic understanding of neuroscience and cell biology
Preferred Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Research experience in Neurobiology Rodent handling and mouse colony management Rodent perfusions and microtome sectioning Experience with immunohistochemistry and confocal imaging Experience with molecular assays and cloning Strong communication and organizational skills
