SUMMARY:Project Scientist
DESCRIPTION:The Project Scientist works independently and in cooperation with the Principal Investigator to make significant and creative contributions to a research or creative project in any academic discipline. The Project Scientist may be an ongoing member of a research team or may be employed for a limited period of time to contribute high-level skills to a specific research or creative program. Project Scientists are not required to carry out independent research or to develop an independent research reputation and do not have teaching responsibilities. Ordinarily\, the Project Scientist title will carry out research or creative programs as well as administration of day-to-day lab operations with supervision by a member of the Professorial Series.  \nDr. Megan Hitchins Laboratory specific –  \nESSENTIAL JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:\nOrdering and maintaining laboratory supplies\nMaintenance of chemical inventory and sample database\nSafe handling and processing of human blood\, saliva\, semen\, formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks\, and other clinical samples\nConduct genetic\, epigenetic\, and other molecular biology protocols accurately and reproducibly to generate original data from a high volume of samples\nDealing with high volumes of biospecimens and interfacing with the biorepositories and core facilities\nPerform raw data analyses for genetic and epigenetic variation\nDraft sections of manuscripts or figures for publication in scientific journals and/or grant applications \nEducational Requirements:\nM.D. or Ph.D or highest degree in their field.\nDemonstrated significant\, original\, and creative contributions to a research or creative program or project\nin area of specialization\, as applicable. \nLicense/Certification/Registration Requirements:\nThe following certifications of training will need to be completed and maintained:\nCITI Institutional Review Board training in research involving human subjects\nTraining in the safe handling of biological and hazardous substances\nDepartment of Transport training in the shipment of hazardous substances\nHIPAA training for protection of human subjects \nExperience:\nCompletion of postdoctoral appointment or extensive experience in the area of cancer genetics\, epigenetics\, and/or molecular biology.
