SUMMARY:Research Technician
DESCRIPTION:There is an immediate opening for a research technician in Qi group at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to look for exceptional researcher in Chemistry and Chemical Biology field. The Qi lab studies gene regulatory pathways using the emerging discipline of chemical biology. Successful candidates will work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists including medicinal chemists\, biochemists\, computational biologists\, and cancer biologists to develop novel inhibitors of chromatin modifying enzymes\, such as methyltransferases\, demethylases as well as other epigenetic targets and transcription factors. The successful candidate will perform research that establish fundamental insights to cancer biology using novel small molecule inhibitors to gain mechanistic understanding in cancer therapy. We expect that novel therapeutics for human clinical investigation will emerge directly from these efforts through academic/industry collaborations. \nThis position will assist scientists in performing scientific research\, development and/or clinical tasks of varying complexity. In general\, this position will assist in the set up\, operation and maintenance of laboratory instruments and equipment\, monitoring experiments\, making observations and calculating and recording results.  \nWe are looking for candidates who have at least a two-year availability. \n\n\n\nResponsibilities\n\n\n\n\nSkill in organic chemistry\, compound characterization with NMR and mass spec\nUnderstanding the medicinal chemistry for small molecule inhibitor design\nPerforming laboratory experiments and conducting data analysis\nDesigning experiments and executing protocols\ndeveloping and executing design and synthesis small molecule inhibitors while investigating novel biological mechanisms of action of inhibitors in cancer with team\nMaintaining accurate records\, writing reports\, and preparing presentations\nContribute to the organization of the overall laboratory and safety\nSet up\, adjust\, calibrate\, clean\, maintain and troubleshoot equipment.\nClean\, maintain and prepare supplies and work areas and may be responsible for ordering of supplies. Collaborates with Purchasing and may be responsible for negotiating with vendors.\nConduct standardized biological\, microbiological or biochemical tests and laboratory analyses\, including the collection of information and samples from organic substances\, such as blood\, drugs\, and animals.\nIsolate\, identify and prepare specimens for examination.\nAnalyze experimental data and interpret results to write reports and summaries of findings\, including grant preparation and presentations\, and look for opportunities to co-author publications. May be expected to participate in formal and information presentations of results to staff. \nParticipate in grant application process and manuscript preparation as required.\nMaintains detailed notebook of all work-related activities.\nMonitors laboratory work to ensure compliance with Environmental Health and Safety information as well as the standard operation procedures specific to each laboratory.\nExpected to provide intellectual and interactive commitment to position by keeping up with appropriate literature and research publications.\nMay be responsible for the development\, modification and improvement of standard operating procedures.\nUses computers\, computer-interfaced equipment\, robotics or high-technology applications to perform work duties.\nMay be responsible for designing and executing advanced experiments and setting strategy. \nMay be responsible for the examination of animals and specimens to detect the presence of disease or other problems.\nMay be responsible for monitoring laboratory budgets.\n\n  \n\n\n\nQualifications\n\n\n\n\nBachelor’s Degree required with a major in chemistry or biochemistry preferred. \nKnowledge of information and techniques in the fields of organic chemistry\, medicinal chemistry\, or biochemistry\nMust have excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and be able to work with a wide variety of faculty and staff.\nEnthusiastic\, team player\, and self-motivated individual\nAbility to analyze information and use logic to address work-related issues and problems.\nMust have attention to detail and be thorough in completing work tasks.\nAbility to work within a team environment.
