Overview | New Jersey’s academic health center, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) takes an integrated approach to educating students, providing clinical care, and conducting research, all with the goal of improving human health. Aligned with Rutgers University–New Brunswick and collaborating university wide, RBHS includes eight schools, a behavioral health network, and five centers and institutes that focus on cancer treatment and research, neuroscience, advanced biotechnology and medicine, environmental and occupational health, and health care policy and aging research.
Our faculty are teachers, clinicians, and scientists with unparalleled experience who advance medical innovation and provide patient care informed by the latest research findings. We offer an outstanding education in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, nursing, biomedical research, and the full spectrum of allied health careers.
Our clinical and academic facilities are located throughout the state—at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, including Piscataway; and at locations in Newark, Scotch Plains, Somerset, Stratford, and other locations. Clinical partners include Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, Newark’s University Hospital in Newark, and other affiliates.
Through this community of healers, scientists, and scholars, Rutgers is equipped as never before to transform lives. |
Posting Summary | Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is seeking a Research Associate II for the Child Health Institute at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, the Research Associate II (RA II) will be responsible for the design, analysis, interpretation, and presentation in oral and written form, a project focused development and function of novel innate immune cells in vital tissues such as the lung and the brain. The goal of this project is to determine the immune and inflammatory mechanisms of asthma.
The RA II will conduct specialized research requiring generation of mouse models of chronic asthma, measurement of airway resistance using Flexivent instrument with non-survival surgical procedures, legendplex assays, fluorescence activated cell sorting, magnetic activated cell sorting, multiple color microscope with Z-stacking, spatial transcriptome library generation and bioinformatics analysis, and scRNA-seq library generation and bioinformatics analysis. The project requires an expert with experience and skills to generate spatial transcriptome and scRNA-seq libraries with extensive bioinformatics skills, to generate mouse models of chronic asthma, and to measure resistance using Flexivent instrument with non-survival surgical procedures.
Among the key duties of this position are the following: - Performs specific laboratory techniques involving flow cytometry analysis, animal models of airway and brain disorders, single-cell RNA-seq, multiplex cytokine assays, and immunofluorescence imaging.
- Generates spatial transcriptome libraries and performing bioinformatics for spatial deconvolution analysis.
- Generates single-cell RNA-seq libraries and performing bioinformatics for single cell gene expression profiling.
- Performs non-survival surgical procedures to measure airway resistance using FlexiVent instrument.
- Generates mouse models of chronic asthma.
- Performs LegendPlex assays.
- Performs multiple-color immunofluorescence imaging with Z-stack.
