Overview The Department of Neuroscience is a basic science department that focuses on cutting-edge research in the areas of neurological disease. Dr. Giuseppina Tesco is supported by funding from the federal government and private foundations to study the molecular mechanism of Alzheimer’s disease. What You'll Do Under close supervision of Principal Investigator, conducts a variety of routine experiments following established procedures and protocols. There are two primary functions of this position: 1) Culturing human iPSCs and differentiating them in neurons and glia cells, 2) Characterization of cultures with biochemistry, microscopy and molecular biology (Protein extraction Western blotting, ELISA, immunostaining and microscopy, RNA and DNA extraction, PCR and qPCR, genome editing). Having prior experiences in stem cell culture and genome editing is a plus. Maintaining mouse colony. • Culturing human iPSCs and differentiating them in neurons and glia cells • Maintaining mouse colony, genotyping and collection of brain samples. • Maintains laboratory equipment and orders/keeps inventory of supplies. • Perform experiments (e.e biochemistry, microscopy and molecular biology ), and documenting data under researcher guidance. • Occasional need to work beyond regular work hours, holidays, or weekends as experiments demand. Work with protective attire and in BSL2 safety cabinets for animal infections and multi-drug-resistant bacteria is required. What We're Looking For Basic Requirements: Knowledge and experience typically acquired by: • Bachelor’s degree in science • At least one year of related laboratory experience Preferred Qualifications: • Advanced knowledge and experience with laboratory techniques and procedures • Knowledge of basic statistics Pay Range Minimum $20.90, Midpoint $24.90, Maximum $28.90 Salary is based on related experience, expertise, and internal equity; generally, new hires can expect pay between the minimum and midpoint of the range.
