SUMMARY:Research Technician
DESCRIPTION:VARI has recently established a research program in metabolism and nutrition\, with the goal of improving health through prediction\, prevention\, diagnosis\, and treatment.   \n\nConnie Krawczyk.\, Ph.D.\, will be joining VARI in the summer of 2018 and is seeking to hire a full-time Research Technician in her lab. Dr. Krawczyk’s research focuses on the following areas: \n\n\nElucidate how immunological signals\, metabolism and cellular programming regulate the balance between protective and pathological inflammation.\nIdentify epigenetic reinforcements of immune states and their impact on disease development\nAdvance understanding of the interplay between the immune and nervous systems\,\nAdvance the understanding of the molecular mechanism that drive differences in susceptibility between males and females to inflammation and associated diseases\nExploring the therapeutic potential of targeting such mechanisms to treat inflammatory conditions such as cancer\, infection\, autoimmunity and neuroinflammation.\n\n\nIn this role as a Research Technician\, you will be instrumental in transitioning her lab\, currently located in Montreal Canada\, at McGill’s University to Grand Rapids\, MI to Van Andel Research Institute (VARI). This will include traveling to Montreal for a time period still to be determined. \n\nIn addition to assisting in with the lab relocation\, you should have an intense curiosity of biology\, and must possess the following:   \n\n\nTissue culture of primary cells and cell lines\nAnimal colony maintenance\, genotyping\, tissue harvesting\nInfection models in mice\nFlow cytometry\nmolecular cloning\ngenerate retrovirus and transduction of cells\nwestern blot\nchromatin immunoprecipitation and ATAC sequencing\nRNA isolation\, qRT-PCR\nELISA\ngeneral lab maintenance\ncellular metabolism – including seahorse\, mass spec\n\n\nThis list will change as projects evolve and you be open-minded to learn new things. \n\nYou will possess a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in biological sciences\, focusing on immunology\, biochemistry\, molecular and cell biology and have 2 – 5 years of hands on bench experience. We are ideally looking for people with the following: \n\n\nHands on experience with cell culture work\, preferably experience with primary cell\nHands on experience with molecular cloning including\, primer design\, PCR\, mutagenesis\, etc…\nHands on experience with chromatin IP\nExperience and/or interest in bioinformatics\nA self-driven and hard-working individual who has a strong curiosity about basic science and its clinical application\nA highly organized multi-tasker who pays attention to detail and values research integrity\nA collegial team member with the ability to interact effectively and cordially with colleagues and collaborators\n\n  \nEXPECTATIONS \n  \nThe following expectations should be met within the first 3 months. \n\n\n1 month – Develop a solid understanding of the project\, master the techniques involved\, help transition the lab to VARI and generate new data\n\n\n3 months – Complete lab move to VARI\, acquire significant data\, and begin to take lead of the project\n\n\n\nHOW TO APPLY \nIf you possess these attributes and enjoy working with motivated and driven people\, we would welcome speaking with you and encourage you to apply today!  \n\n\nA cover letter describing your research interests\, experience\, and how you might contribute to Krawczyk Lab Research.\n\n\nAn up-to-date Curriculum Vitae.\n\n\nA list of 2-3 individuals who have agreed to act as references along with their contact details.\n\n\nPlease contact Eric Miller (eric.miller@vai.org) for further information or questions\, or if you have any difficulty with the application process.
