The Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology is looking to fill two OPS Lab Tech positions. The selected candidates will need to be highly motivated individuals to study epigenetic mechanisms in cancer.

Experimental duties will include but not be limited to, using molecular biology techniques such as cell culture, western blotting, Chromatin immunoprecipitation, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and next generation sequencing (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) to test how structural and functional mutations in proteins that regulate chromatin structure may alter gene expression and promote the tumor phenotype. Additional duties associated with the position may include performing experiments in mice and assisting in the maintenance of the lab’s animal colony and occasional lab maintenance/housekeeping/ordering. Excellent written and oral English language skills are required. Prior experience with mouse models, flow cytometry, western blotting and PCR is preferred but not required. In addition, it is essential that the candidate can work independently in the lab, maintain an electronic lab notebook describing their research activity, participate in lab meetings and display good interpersonal skills.
