Lead Research Specialist - School of Medicine, Pathology
Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. Description The Gordon Laboratory seeks a motivated Research Specialist to spearhead cutting-edge Proteomics and Experimental Genetics studies focused on virus-host interactions, immune regulation, and carcinogenesis. The Gordon Lab pioneers advanced mass spectrometry, experimental genetics, and computational approaches to map functional pathways. We strongly believe that the best science emerges from an environment of generous collaboration, reinforced by a culture of learning, curiosity, and the sharing of skills and advice. In considering new members of our group, we value a positive can-do attitude, evidence of previous success in laboratory environments, attention to detail, and cultural add. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Under minimal supervision, performs a variety of specialized and complex research and laboratory tests and procedures. Uses independent judgment in applying or adapting scientific techniques. May assist in protocol design. Investigates and proposes alternative experimental procedures for consideration by a principal investigator. Assists in planning and scheduling research procedures. Analyzes and interprets results of studies. Demonstrates and trains others in the proper use/operation of laboratory techniques and equipment. Calibrates, troubleshoots and performs routine repair and maintenance of equipment. Reviews literature for related research developments and techniques and compiles findings. Monitors laboratory processes to maintain quality assurance standards. Records results of studies, compiles and analyzes data and prepares charts and graphs. Monitors the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances. Performs related responsibilities as required. Employees in this classification may be required to work with, take specific precautions against and/or be immunized against potentially hazardous agents. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in a scientific field and two years of research experience, or equivalent combination of experience, education, and training. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Molecular biology experience (PCR, DNA cloning, agarose gel electrophoresis, etc.). Cell culture experience. Strong training in biochemistry and molecular biology-related coursework. Mass spectrometry and/or proteomics data analysis. Biochemistry expertise (e.g. protein interaction studies, HPLC operation, etc.). Molecular biology and experimental genetics (siRNA, CRISPR, PCR, DNA cloning, etc.). DNA sequence analysis (Snapgene, Geneious or other DNA analysis tools). Experience analyzing large datasets.
