Position Summary:
A Research Associate II position is available in the laboratory of Leo D. Wang, MD, PhD, at City of Hope, Duarte, CA.
The lab's research in the Department of Immuno-Oncology focuses on how blood and immune cells develop, function, and interact with other cells, with a second focus on how blood stem cells become malignant. We use mass spectrometry to identify activated protein circuits in rare blood stem and progenitor cell populations, including therapeutic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, and use that knowledge to improve and devise new therapies for pediatric cancers and blood disorders.
Key Responsibilities :
• Coordinate lab tasks and operations, including ordering, inventory, and other essential functions.
• Prepare laboratory reagents, chemicals, instruments, and maintain equipment.
• Performs a variety of routine and non-routine laboratory research experiments. Records and validates results and methodology for accuracy and completeness.
• Perform preclinical rodent work (mouse handling, screening, injections, and analysis). Troubleshoots procedures if experiment results are unexpected or unsatisfactory. Recommends alternative procedures.
• Calculates, compiles and analyzes data obtained from work performed.
• Independently evaluates research data and initiates alternative approaches to improve the quality of results by providing input to overall research design. Trains lab staff in specialized procedures, equipment and theoretical concepts behind unique tests.
• Keep detailed and accurate logs of experiments from conception to analysis, as well as of lab inventory and animal colonies.
• May contribute to the preparation of manuscripts by describing methods and specialized techniques.
• There may be some travel to local area research labs for collaborations, trainings, & operational expansion.
Basic education, experience and skills required for consideration:
• Bachelor's degree. Masters degree preferred.
• Two years related research/ laboratory experience with a Bachelor's degree
or one year related research/ laboratory experience with a Master's degree.
Preferred education, experience and skills for consideration:
