The Research Associate will conduct cellular experiments to study several aspects of immune responses. In addition to pursuing an independent research project that will employ histology and flow cytometry of tissues obtained from immunized mice, responsibilities include work that will maintain a small laboratory. This research will have implications for adaptive immune response and the design of vaccines.
Cellular Immunology: Assist in designing, preparing, conducting and analyzing complex experiments studying mouse lymphocytes. Conduct or assist with experiments involving the transfer of lymphocytes, including cell isolation, enrichment, and cell injection followed by immunization of mice. Perform high parameter flow cytometry of tissue-derived cell suspensions.
Microscopy: Cut sections of tissues with cryo-microtome and stain for histology. Image prepared slides by widefield fluorescence microscopy.
Animal Care: Help manage a colony of transgenic and genetically modified mice. Duties include weaning mice of breeding cages, tagging mice and obtaining ear biopsies.
General Laboratory: Prepare stocks of some laboratory solutions and help to keep the lab outfitted with supplies and reagents.
Data Records: Ensures data results are compiled, analyzed, and presented properly. Keep clear and accurate records of data collected during experimentation.
Data Analysis: Performs analyses and interpretation of the data where appropriate. Reaches preliminary scientific conclusions related to research planning.
Interacts with the PI, other lab members, and EHS officers to discuss and evaluate research results and to ensure the smooth and safe operation of the laboratory.

Any time you conduct a search, the system shows you job matches, ranked by their Relevance Score (RS).
The score is calculated by a proprietary algorithm that uses Intelligent Machine Learning.
The Relevance Score tells you how well the job opportunity matches your search term or terms.
When not logged in, the system is limited to one search term. Scores for single term matches are usually lower.
When you register, log in, and set up multiple terms prioritized by importance, the jobs found for you will receive a much higher Relevance Score.
