SUMMARY:Research assistant II - prostate cancer epigenetics
DESCRIPTION:An exciting opportunity has been created for an experienced researcher to join the Alumkal Laboratory at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute as a Research Assistant 2 in Portland\, OR. The individual will work with Dr. Joshi Alumkal\, Co-Leader of the OHSU Prostate Cancer Research Program.  Our laboratory focuses on identifying mechanisms by which key chromatin modifying enzymes and chromatin readers drive transcription of pathways that promote treatment resistance. We use genomics studies in prostate cancer clinical samples and prostate cancer cell line model systems and functional studies to understand this process. Our goal is to develop new\, targeted treatment strategies for men with advanced prostate cancer. \nThe Research Assistant 2 will be responsible for carrying out experiments in the laboratory\, helping with ordering supplies\, and participating in research to study cancer epigenetics and drug resistance in prostate cancer. Their duties will also include performing mouse xenograft tumor growth experiments with drug injections or drug gavage\, basic molecular biology techniques including cell culture\, DNA/RNA/protein extraction\, QPCR\, Western blots\, maintaining meticulous records of experimental procedures\, and preparing material for presentation and/or submission to peer reviewed publications. \nRequired Qualifications: \n\nBachelor’s degree with major courses in field of research and no experience\, Or an AA/RN and 2 years of experience\nAbility to prioritize multiple tasks at one time\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills\nExcellent analytical and organizational skills\nAbility to work independently and as part of a team while being collaborative in resolving problems\nProficient with computers running Windows software such a MS Excel\, Access\, Word and PowerPoint\nExcellent customer service skills both on the phone and in person\nEnergy and drive to coordinate multiple projects simultaneously\nAbility to use tact and diplomacy to maintain effective working relationships\nWorking knowledge of basic molecular biology techniques: PCR\, DNA/RNA extraction\nProficiency with mammalian cell culture\nAble to perform the essential functions of the position with or without accommodation\n\nPreferred Qualifications: \n\n2 years of experience in a molecular biology setting\nExpertise with recombinant DNA techniques\, Western blots\, and RNAi/plasmid transfections\nRodent handling experience\, especially with xenograft tumor growth experiments involving injection and/or gavage treatment\n\nWork schedule\, hours\, salary range and FTE: \n\nFTE: 1.0 FTE\, Full Time\nSchedule: Monday – Friday\, with occasional night and weekend hours\nSalary Range: $30\,638 – $40\,000\nLocation: Portland\, OR (South Waterfront)\nJob Type: Research\n\nOregon Health & Science University values a diverse and culturally competent workforce.
