The Carney lab investigates the cell dynamics in the skeletal system and epithelia. Its analyses have implications for fundamental cell biology, evolution, genetics and clinical underpinnings of disease. Guided by issues facing the clinic, the lab has recently modelled diseases affecting skeletal system and has developed a model of bone necrosis.
We are currently recruiting a Research Assistant to work on interrogating a zebrafish model of a clinical bone necrosis. Working closely with a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, the job will include molecular biology, animal husbandry, cloning, transgenesis and genotyping as well as imaging approaches. Furthermore, the applicant will be expected to offer general support in laboratory maintenance tasks, including laboratory supply and inventory control, procurement and routine genotyping and fish line maintenance. The successful applicant will have access to superb facilities and a broad range of scientific technology, reagents, and equipment, within a dynamic, international and multidisciplinary scientific environment.
Candidates should possess a Degree in Biological Sciences or similar, be highly motivated, with a strong work ethic, initiative and an ability to multitask and learn techniques rapidly. The applicant will also be independent, yet able to work in a close team towards common goals. Good organizational, record-keeping, communication and team-based skills are essential, as is awareness of workplace health and safety requirements. Experience with zebrafish or similar model organisms and molecular cloning techniques will be highly regarded. The candidate must have a demonstrable ability to contribute to manuscript preparation and report writing, including literature scanning database searches and statistical analyses of data.
Key responsibilities:
Plan and conduct molecular biology experiments
Perform cell labelling approaches and microscopy
Image analysis and generation of figures
Record keeping and statistical analysis of data
Presentation of data in appropriate medium
Lab keeping and procurement
Hiring Institution: LKC
