Conduct in-depth analysis of research experiments
Interpret data, form conclusions, and decide on and plan the next experiments to be done with a high degree of independence
Write standard operating procedures, schedule work, analyze data, maintain accurate records, and write reports
Compile and analyze data. Perform computations using image analysis software, spreadsheets, graphing, and curve fitting software
May modify protocols and be responsible for a single, independent research project
May assist with budget and/or operational aspects of grant and contract proposals
Assist in writing the text of scientific publications and grants. Review literature
Train new laboratory personnel, students, and collaborators
Comply with all safety and infection control standards
Perform other duties as required.
Qualifications:
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in the Biological Sciences, or equivalent experience
3 years of relevant research experience

Additional Information:
We are a young, dynamic group looking for highly motivated research associates with interests in host genetics and viral interactions in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). We develop inter-disciplinary methods including experimental techniques and technology development around hiPSCs from AD patients, as well as computational and statistical genetics, genomics methods. Ideal candidates have strong backgrounds in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and neuronal differentiation, and experience with flow cytometry, FACS sorting and CRISPR/Cas9 editing.
