Michigan State University(MSU) Research Assistant II in East Lansing, Michigan
Position Summary
The Yi laboratory in the Department of Physiology at Michigan State University seeks a lead research assistant/lab manager to propel our research team. We investigate the molecular mechanisms behind the extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA)'s oncogenic behaviors, which is well known as a cause of therapy resistance in cancers. We utilize a high-throughput image-based genetic screening platform to identify potential mechanisms. Our research goal is to develop a novel way to target ecDNA-harboring cancer cells specifically.
This position is a full-time position and cannot be accomplished remotely.
The successful candidate will have enthusiasm for molecular biology or/and cancer research, significant training and working
laboratory experience in molecular biology and biochemistry. The job duties include, but are not limited to:
·
Creating, maintaining and organizing large single-cell clones derived from cancer cell lines and patient-derived cancer cells
·
Performing genotyping single-cell clones by RT-PCR and FISH
·
Overseeing and managing sample storage at -80, -20, 4 degrees, and cold room
