Job Description

Strength Through Diversity

Ground breaking science. Advancing medicine. Healing made personal.

Roles & Responsibilities:

An Associate Researcher (technician) position in the laboratory of Dr. Benjamin Hopkins, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York is now available (Spring 2021). Mount Sinai is a diverse institution, host of groundbreaking science aimed at advancing medicine and patient care. The Tisch Cancer Institute, to which the laboratory is affiliated, is an NCI-designated multidisciplinary cancer research center with state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant scientific community: https: // icahn.mssm.edu/research/tisch

The Hopkins laboratory runs a functional genomics pipeline, that investigates how comprehensive genomics, and patient derived models of cancer can be used to both guide clinical decision making and identify treatment options for patients in need. Our group is very dynamic, collaborative and comprised of researchers with diverse backgrounds and expertise. For additional information, please visit our website: https: // labs.icahn.mssm.edu/hopkinslab/

We are looking for a driven, motivated, well-organized and skilled individual to assist in translational research aimed at discovering biochemical and molecular mechanisms determining tumor response to cancer therapies. These studies involve cell-based and patient derived modeling methods. Specific duties are listed but not limited to:

  Being the point person for the functional genomics automated system. This includes execution of routine and non/routine screens using an automated system for functional modeling. Prior scripting and experience with R is a MUST.

  Biochemical and cellular assays using standard techniques (e.g. western blotting, cell growth assays, immunoprecipitation, FACS analysis etc), and cell/tissue processing, 2D and 3D culture and maintenance

  Detailed documentation of experimental work, and maintenance, cataloging and back-up of experimental data files

  Collect detailed documentation on experimental data

  Attend weekly meetings to present, discuss and evaluate current projects and literature

  Preparation of purchase orders for supplies

  Cataloging and backup of inventories, laboratory stocks and reagents

  Contribute to quality control, assurance and lab safety programs

Requirements:

  BS or MS in biology/biochemistry or related fields (e.g. cancer biology or molecular/cell biology); or equivalent combination of education and experience

  Prior research experience in a molecular or cellular biology laboratory

  Knowledge of basic cell and molecular biology methods (western blotting, cell growth assays)

  Scripting, programing in R is a MUST

  Excellent organization, communication, time-management, and record-keeping skills

  Familiarity with data analysis software (e.g. GraphPad PRISM)

  Long-term (>2-year) commitment preferred
