Research Services Entry Laboratory Professional
role at
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Position #: 00835346 – Requisition #: 38184
Job Summary:
The Moore Lab focuses on the intersection of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and inflammation in lung diseases and critical illness, with both basic science and translational research components. The Research Services Laboratory Professional will play a key role in foundational projects with real potential to impact future therapeutic development. The assistant will gain hands‑on experience in both bench science—performing biochemical and functional assays of clotting and fibrinolysis pathways—and translational research, including the collection of biospecimens from patients and direct interaction with clinical collaborators. Projects in the lab range from studying why fibrinolytic therapy fails in patients with pleural infections, to characterizing fibrinolytic resistance in humans with sepsis, to investigating how macrophage‑derived factor XIII‑A influences lung repair after injury using mince and advanced models such as live‑imaged of cell culture on decellularized lung scaffolds. This is a rare opportunity to be involved in research that spans from molecule to bedside, in a supportive academic environment where your contributions will be instrumental in shaping the lab’s direction and impact within the university and beyond.
Key Responsibilities
Perform experiments such as ELISA, quantitative PCR, microscopy, fibrinolytic functional assays, and Western blotting.
Handle laboratory animals (mice), including routine care and surgical or procedural manipulations.
Conduct sterile cell culture, including primary cell and cell line maintenance.
Process tissue samples for downstream applications including imaging and histology.
Support development and troubleshooting of new experimental protocols.
Conduct basic quantitative and qualitative analysis of experimental data.
Screen and consent eligible patients for research studies under IRB protocols and collect and process human biospecimens.
Qualifications Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in biology, molecular biology, chemistry, genetics, or related field.
A combination of education and related technical/paraprofessional experience may be substituted for the bachelor’s degree on a year‑for‑year basis.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master’s degree in biology, molecular biology, chemistry, genetics, or related field.
One (1) year of experience in an experimental or wet laboratory.
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
Knowledge of basic laboratory techniques including safety procedures and techniques.
Ability to communicate effectively, both in writing and orally.
Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with employees at all levels throughout the institution.
Outstanding customer service skills.
Knowledge of basic human anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology.
Ability to interpret and master complex research protocol information.
