The Department of Hematologic Malignancies Translational Science at City of Hope is recruiting a full-time Research Associate II to support research projects in the laboratory of Dr. Pamela Becker. The Becker lab focuses on novel therapy of acute myeloid leukemia (e.g.-RNA therapeutics or new inhibitors) and drug resistance in blood cancers (e.g.-acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome) based on clinical features, mutations, and gene expression, with use of high throughput functional screening/multicolor flow cytometry to directly assay drug response.
As a successful candidate, you will:
- Consult with Principal Investigator, Staff Scientist, academic researchers, pharmaceutical/biotech company researchers, and/or postdoctoral scholars on research approaches.
- Perform standard specialized experimental procedures and techniques for research projects.
- Conduct non-standard laboratory procedures, adapting to changing research needs.
- Conduct in vitro experiments including exploring new therapies and molecular biology techniques.
- Adapt standard procedures or improve tests based on literature review and analysis.
- Collaborate on multidisciplinary projects by modifying procedures to meet project requirements.
- Assist in data collection, analysis, and preparation for presentation/publication/grant applications.
- Support daily laboratory operations, including ordering supplies, organizing the lab, and coordinating equipment maintenance; supervise student/trainee staff and report any issues to the Principal Investigator.
Your qualifications should include:
- Bachelor’s degree. Master’s degree preferred.
- Two years related research/ laboratory experience with a Bachelor’s degreeor one year related research/ laboratory experience with a Master’s degree.
Preferred qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in molecular biology, cell biology, engineering, biology, chemistry, or related field.
- Tissue culture with cell lines and primary cells.
- Molecular biology techniques including preparation of DNA, RNA for sequencing or other analysis.
- Biochemical analysis techniques including western blotting, flow cytometry analysis, fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), magnetic bead isolation devices, and in vitro drug sensitivity assays.
- Familiarity with data analysis/statistics and graphics software.
- In vivo mouse models of leukemia.
