SUMMARY:Research Associate I
DESCRIPTION:The Buck Institute for Research on Aging is seeking a Research Associate Iin the Kennedy Laboratory. The Buck Institute is the only independent institute in the U.S. devoted solely to research on aging and age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s\, Parkinson’s\, cancer\, arthritis\, diabetes\, and stroke. Our mission is to increase the healthspan\, the healthy years of life. Awarded a federal grant to establish interdisciplinary research in a new field called Geroscience\, Buck scientists work in a unique\, collaborative environment allowing them to initiate studies quickly and respond to new opportunities in fields such as stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Our scientists represent a variety of complementary fields\, including genetics\, epigenetics\, biochemistry\, molecular biology\, bioenergetics\, age-associated disease; and technological disciplines such as genomics\, proteomics\, protein interaction networks and bio-informatics. \nThe Buck Institute\, designed by world famous architect I.M. Pei\, is located in Novato\, California\, 25 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. \nPOSITION SUMMARY: \nThe Kennedy lab is focused on identifying conserved genes and genetic pathways involved in modulating aging. Scientists in the group use invertebrate model organisms such as yeast and C. elegans to identify genes modulating aging and candidate mechanisms by which they act. These approaches lead to hypotheses that can be tested in mice. The ultimate goal is to understand the aging process in humans and to develop approaches to mitigate age-associated diseases. We are seeking a Research Assistant to drive yeast projects within the lab. \nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES: \n\nDrive the progress of yeast research: replicative lifespan dissection of yeast and organization of strains and basic manipulations.\nBack up laboratory members with regard to: experiments\, documentation of experimental results including data entry and other data management tasks\, analysis and interpretation and reporting of results where necessary\, under the guidance of the PI\, director of the lab or postdoctoral fellows.\nHandle administrative duties that enable the smooth operation of the lab\, including but not limited to: preparing liquid and plate media and common buffers / solutions; aiding in lab organization; ordering supplies; participating in the general care and maintenance of equipment; obtaining environmental safety approvals; and assisting in recruitment efforts of future lab members.\nPerform other duties as assigned.\n\nEDUCATION: \n\nBA/BS in genetics\, biology or related science and knowledge of\, or experience with\, the basic techniques or methods required by the position; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.\nProficient with basic molecular biology\, cell biology\, and protein chemistry laboratory techniques; experience with mammalian cells and tissues\, preferred.\nExcellent ability to communicate analyses orally & in writing; excellent organizational skills & record keeping; proficiency in MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint.\n\nEXPERIENCE: \n\nGenerally requires a minimum of 0-2 years’ experience with a Bachelor’s degree.
