The Martínez-De Luna Laboratory in the Center for Vision Research (CVR) (https://www.upstate.edu/cvr) is seeking a Research Support Specialist to assist with animal experiments and perform experimental work.

We aim to uncover strategies that exploit the extracellular matrix to prevent blindness.

In this Research Support Specialist role, the experimental duties include, but are not limited to: assistance with animal experiments, collection and processing of tissues for analysis, and molecular analyses of samples (qPCR/Western Blot).

In the Martínez-De Luna Lab we are committed to the professional development of our members and provide inclusive mentorship and training. Professional development opportunities include, but are not limited to: attending the vision course offered in the CVR, attendance of the CVR's weekly data lecture series and other seminars, and authorship on publications to which the candidate contributed.

The Center for Vision Research is the research arm of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, comprising 16 funded faculty members with joint appointments in Cell, Molecular, and Neuroscience Departments, leading vigorous basic and translational projects in a new state of the art facility. Programs span multiple disciplines, including developmental biology, retinal physiology, cell biology, biophysics, neuroscience, biochemistry, molecular biology, matrix biology, and tissue engineering.
