This position is well suited for an experienced scientist with a strong background in molecular and cellular biology who is comfortable independently conducting experiments, analyzing scientific data, and collaborating with multidisciplinary research teams.


Duties:

  • Design, conduct, and support laboratory experiments investigating genetic, genomic, and biological mechanisms associated with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Apply molecular and cellular biology techniques to investigate nervous system development, function, disease, and gene-environment interactions.
  • Support studies involving neurodegeneration, brain aging, cellular senescence, neuroinflammation, and neuronal/glial cell function.
  • Contribute to research involving glioma and other central or peripheral nervous-system tumors using genetic, genomic, cellular, and functional assays.
  • Collaborate with research scientists on experimental design, assay development, method development, and interpretation of experimental results.
  • Independently conduct high-priority research projects and assist with the development and evaluation of novel research approaches.
  • Operate, maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot laboratory instrumentation and train staff on proper equipment use and laboratory techniques.
  • Assist researchers with experimental design, instrumentation, data acquisition, data analysis, and preparation of scientific figures.
  • Analyze and interpret research data while maintaining accurate and detailed electronic laboratory records.
  • Review scientific literature and recommend alternative or complementary experimental approaches when appropriate.
  • Assist with animal care and use procedures and provide training to laboratory staff as needed.
  • Prepare technical reports, abstracts, presentations, posters, manuscripts, and other scientific materials for publication or presentation.


Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in a scientific field required.
  • Minimum of 5 years of relevant research experience.
  • Strong background in biology, biochemical sciences, environmental science, or a related biomedical discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience with molecular and/or cellular biology laboratory techniques.
  • Experience designing, conducting, analyzing, and troubleshooting scientific experiments.
  • Experience analyzing and interpreting complex biological research data.
  • Ability to independently manage research activities while collaborating effectively with scientists and laboratory personnel.
  • Strong scientific writing and communication skills, including experience contributing to technical reports, abstracts, manuscripts, posters, or presentations.
  • Experience with neurological, neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, genomic, or related biomedical research is highly desirable.
  • Experience with laboratory instrumentation, assay development, imaging techniques, and/or animal research is preferred.
