SUMMARY:Research Scientist
DESCRIPTION:Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the blood system. Clinically there has been much progress in improving outcomes but 30% of cases have aggressive clinical disease that does not respond well to therapy and new-targeted therapies are required to address this. The Multiple Myeloma Program at NYU is a new initiative to understand the biology and develop new therapies for this devastating illness. Major aims of the program are to utilize biological knowledge to treat high-risk disease and to prevent the development of the disease by manipulating the evolutionary trajectory of its premalignant precursor phases\, which are common in the general population. To achieve these aims we will focus on three main areas studying the epigenetic basis of disease progression\, the role of complex genetic structural rearrangements and the impact these have on the bone marrow microenvironment. We will use advanced genetic technologies to study the biology of these different areas. The person in this position will play an important role in the program being responsible for establishing a robust research environment\, coordinating activities in the laboratory\, inputting into the coordination\, receipt and processing of clinical samples and establishing new technologies to meet the needs of the program. The position will require a sound knowledge and expertise in molecular genetic techniques and cell culture. The laboratory benefits from the vibrant scientific environment\, collaboration with leading researchers and an outstanding medical school infrastructure that supports the most advanced technologies. Responsible for collaborating with Principal Investigators (PI) and working independently within the scientific framework of the PIs Laboratory. \n\n\nJob Responsibilities: \n\nDemonstrates knowledge of the organizations Core Values and incorporates them into the performance of duties.\nInitiates\, interprets\, organizes\, executes\, and coordinates research assignments critical to departments mission.\nFormulates and conducts research on problems of considerable scope and complexity.\nExplores subject area and defines scope and selection of problems for investigation through conceptually related studies or series of projects of lesser scope.\nMakes decisions and recommendations that have a major impact on extensive scientific research activities.\nDevelops new ideas that promote current research. Exercises a high degree of creativity\, foresight\, and mature judgment in planning\, organizing\, and guiding extensive scientific research programs and activities of outstanding novelty and/or importance.\nMay manage the operations of a lab for the Principal Investigator by supervising Post Docs and technicians. Oversees the maintenance and upkeep of all instruments and laboratory facilities.\nEnsures timely and accurate completion of research projects.\nMay provide students with technical guidance and direction in the operation of various sample preparation techniques\, extraction of cell lines\, and equipment as well as general laboratory practices and safety protocols.\nMay seek grant funding from external sources in support of their independent research projects with consent of the PI and the Department Chair. May participate in writing grant proposals.\nMay be responsible for research/lab quality control and compliance.\nMay develop protocols for the collection and quality of research data.\nDevelops research techniques and methodologies.\nMay determine and establish laboratory policies\, procedures and practices.\nMaintains a thorough knowledge of the advances in specialized fields through attendance of scientific conferences.\nMay make significant contributions to scientific paper writing and act as a resource/ author/ co-author for reports and presentations.\nMay provide recommendations for equipment purchases and for the redesign of lab space.\nMay coordinate the activity and experimental design between various labs\, scientific staff\, and collaborators. Identifies and resolves technical problems.\nMay serve on internal committees to help further goals of research projects and bring new expertise to the research program.\nPerforms other related duties as assigned.\n\n\n\nMinimum Qualifications:\nTo qualify you must have a MS degree and 2-4 years of experience. \n\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nSubstantial experience from having completed Post Doc training. Established a record of publications. PhD Degree\nExperience:\nMolecular genetic skills\nExperience with PDX models\nCell culture \n\n\nQualified candidates must be able to effectively communicate with all levels of the organization.
