Available Positions
The Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute currently has employment opportunities available for laboratory technicians and and lab managers. (posted 06/02/2009)
We are looking for qualified individuals with a the ability to perform experiments in the general areas of molecular biology and biochemistry, using both radioactive and non-radioactive method, DNA.RNA analysis, PCR and RT-PCR, sub-cloning various genes into mammalian, E. coli, lentivirus, and adenovirus expression vectors, western blotting, immunoprecipitation, enzyme assays, immuno-staining and analysis with conventional and confocal microscopes. The candidate must have the ability to perform small animal surgery and experimentation, as well as routine care and management of rodent colony, husbandry and genotyping. The candidate will participate in the creation, maintenance and investigation of genetically engineered mice. The candidate will perform experiments in the area of cell biology; isolating cells for both immediate use and primary culture from tissues, generating cell lines, culturing and maintaining and transfecting cells. The candidate may participate in teaching and training the proper research techniques and use of equipment for students and post-docs new to the laboratory. Minimum educational requirement: B.S. in biology, biotechnology or related discipline.
