The posting

Organization Overview

The Laboratory of Amyloid Biology investigates the molecular mechanisms of amyloid filament formation and how these processes cause disease. Amyloid deposits are a defining feature of many neurodegenerative diseases and systemic amyloidoses, yet how these protein assemblies form, propagate, and contribute to tissue degeneration is unclear. The lab bridges structural biology and neuroscience to investigate three closely related areas: 1) how proteins fold and assemble into amyloid filaments, 2) how these filaments propagate, and 3) how they disrupt cellular function and drive degeneration. Through this work, we aim to understand the molecular basis of amyloid diseases and inform future approaches to treatment. Overview

The Research Assistant will support the establishment and day-to-day operations of a new research laboratory studying amyloid biology. Working closely with the Principal Investigator, the Research Assistant will assist with laboratory and equipment setup, preparation of reagents and materials, and research using molecular cloning, protein purification, immunohistochemistry, light microscopy, and electron microscopy. The Research Assistant will receive hands-on training and mentorship in established protocols, maintain accurate research records and data, and help organize laboratory resources, including plasmids, reagents, protocols, and research data.

Responsibilities

  1. Conduct laboratory research and provide experimental support Perform established experiments using molecular cloning, protein purification, immunohistochemistry, light microscopy, and electron microscopy under the direct supervision of the Head of Laboratory. Prepare samples and materials, collect and organize experimental observations and results, and communicate progress and technical issues to the Head of Laboratory.
  2. Assist with laboratory setup and prepare reagents and equipment Assist with establishing the laboratory, including unpacking, assembling, arranging, and organizing laboratory equipment and workspaces. Learn to operate laboratory instruments and equipment and perform routine cleaning and maintenance as appropriate.

  3. Maintain data, records, and laboratory organization Maintain organized laboratory notebooks and electronic research records. Organize, label, store, and retrieve experimental data and research files according to laboratory procedures. Assist with establishing consistent systems for research data storage, file organization, naming conventions, and documentation.
  4. Perform related duties and responsibilities as assigned/requested
