I. DEPARTMENT INFORMATION
Job Description Summary: | GW’s Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropical Medicine (MITM) conducts innovative, fundamental, basic and translational research for HIV/AIDS and neglected tropical diseases. MITM has a strong tradition of training and policy advocacy for these infectious and parasitic diseases, which initiate and perpetuate poverty and suffering worldwide. Additional information on MITM can be found at the following link: http://smhs.gwu.edu/microbiology/ MITM is in search of a full-time Research Assistant for Dr. Hovel- Miner’s laboratory. The Hovel-Miner Laboratory is using innovative genetic tools to investigate gene functions in the trypanosomatid parasites. Specifically, in the African trypanosome (T. brucei spp.) the lab is using forward genetic methods to identify genes that promote drug resistance and elucidating genetic regulatory pathways that lead to parasitic survival during drug treatment. Currently, we are investigating novel genes that effect redox and ROS biology in the mitochondrion. The laboratory consists of interdependent work platforms that include basic molecular biology, parasite genetics, parasite phenotypic analysis (using an array of assays), and next- generation sequencing based genetic screens that are analyzed bioinformatically. This research support position contributes to the research and development of the Hovel-Miner Lab by assisting with ongoing and independently developed experiments. The core responsibilities of this position include assisting with the execution of experiments planned by Dr. Hovel-Miner, or other senior staff, data collection, supervised data analysis, and detailed notes and record keeping. The position may assist with preparation of figures for presentation, manuscript publication, or grant submissions. The position also includes lab management, supply ordering, and day to day upkeep of laboratory equipment. Additional Lab Duties/ Responsibilities Include:
