Overview
We are looking for a Senior Staff Scientist with a passion for connectomics and sequencing to lead a team project to map cortical circuits from the synaptic level in the mouse brain. The Senior Staff Scientist will work with a collaborative team of academic, staff, and industrial researchers on FISSEQ (Fluorescent in situ sequencing) Technology. The Senior Scientist will manage the Wyss component of our IARPA Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICrONS) IARPA project, including administration and supervising a large team of Scientists, Postdocs, Engineers, and Technicians at the Wyss. The project is an effort between the Wyss Institute, Harvard Medical School, MIT, Cold Spring Harbor Labs, and Columbia University. In addition to management responsibilities there is a significant component of bench work in FISSEQ development. Responsibilities
Report to the Lead Senior Staff Scientist in Synthetic Biology. Develop research lines in FISSEQ and address limitations in current methods and protocols. Develop FISSEQ in tissue sections and optimize with Proximity Ligation and transgenic mouse models. Investigate, modify, and/or develop new protocols, procedures, or techniques to accelerate research goals. Develop new commercially valuable technology in synthetic biology. Conduct biological experimentation in synthetic biology and sequencing and develop image analysis and software algorithms. Oversee software design and architecture; provide guidance to multiple development teams. Identify resources in the Wyss community and beyond to address research challenges. Mentor and supervise students and fellows; collaborate with faculty and other researchers; act as expert in a specialized area. Participate in writing research proposals and reports to funding agencies; provide data and figures for grant and patent submissions. Write and collaborate on manuscripts, abstracts, and other publications; present results at Wyss internal and external meetings. Train others on research methodology and data collection, analysis, and presentation. General laboratory responsibilities including maintaining budgets, equipment, supplies, and reporting laboratory results. Qualifications
PhD in Biology or related area is required. At least 4 years of experience in molecular biology or related field is required. Strong experience in synthetic biology, genetics, molecular biology protocols or related experience is a must. Additional Information
All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
