Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University Full time $40,000 - $50,000 per year

We are in search of a dedicated Research Assistant/Lab Manager to join the esteemed Gomez Deza Lab, which is part of the Department of Cancer and Cellular Biology at Temple University's Lewis Katz School of Medicine (LKSOM) set in Philadelphia, PA. This institution is home to various research laboratories, emphasizing significant studies in cancer and neuroscience.

The focus of our laboratory is on exploring the molecular mechanisms through which chemotherapy impacts human neurons. Utilizing iPSC-derived human neurons, we implement a multiomic strategy that includes mass spectrometry, comprehensive whole-genome CRISPRi screens, RNA sequencing, alongside molecular biology and biochemical methods to study neuronal degeneration.

We are looking for a proactive, cooperative, and organized candidate to fill the role of Research Assistant/Lab Manager. This position is best suited for someone looking for a lasting involvement, although we are open to applications from those who can commit to a minimum of two years (such as individuals who intend to pursue graduate or medical school later).

This full-time role requires in-person attendance and offers a compensation package based on educational qualifications and relevant experience, accompanied by a comprehensive benefits package.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage an independent research initiative focused on the differentiation of iPSCs into neurons and perform related data analysis.
  • Present findings at academic conferences, create data visualizations, and write scientific manuscripts as desired.
  • Oversee procurement and receipt of laboratory supplies.
  • Maintain thorough documentation of procedures, expenses, and inventory.
  • Establish and upkeep laboratory equipment.
  • Engage both intellectually and experimentally in lab projects and meetings, with opportunities to lead personal project(s) as desired.
  • Provide assistance and training to fellow lab members regarding experimental and analytical tasks.
  • Ensure adherence to laboratory safety protocols and other administrative guidelines.

Necessary Qualifications

Education

  • A minimum of a BA or BS degree, ideally in neuroscience, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, bioengineering, or a closely related field.

Experience

  • Previous experience with cell culture and molecular biology practices is highly sought after.

Required Skills

  • Proficient in cell culture.
  • Familiarity with basic molecular biology techniques, including DNA extraction and western blotting.
  • Capable of conducting data analysis in Excel with a fundamental comprehension of statistics.

We particularly encourage individuals from groups that are underrepresented in STEM fields to consider this opportunity.
