Jobbeschreibung

The position entails strong analytical approaches, interdisciplinary collaborations, fundamental understanding in cell and molecular biology, general understanding of engineering principles, excellent communications skills, and a wide variety of techniques, technique development, and applications to generate the newest state of the art approaches in basic and translational biology. These techniques include: genome editing tools, next generation sequencing techniques, stem cell culture and differentiation, metabolomics approaches, flow cytometry, cell signaling and gene transfer.

As the Teitell laboratory has several ongoing project areas, applicants should be self-starting and independent with the ability to help design and carry out the project aims, in addition to being proactive in seeking advice within and outside the lab and in helping to establish and work with collaborators.

Other key duties include data and systems management (maintain data systems and specialized equipment), academic writing and publishing, grant and proposal support, as well as collaboration and outreach (Present findings at scientific meetings, mentor students (undergraduate and graduate), and collaborate with multi-disciplinary research and engineering teams.)

A Ph.D. or equivalent is required, along with demonstrated experience in independent and collaborative research, technical proficiency, a robust publication track record, and project/mentorship skills.
