The Associate Specialist will conduct genetic, molecular biology and biochemical studies of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in neural development and translational science. Duties include lncRNA-based proximity labeling of RNA, DNA and proteins to determine the interactome of a lncRNA regulator of neurogenesis. CRISPR-based engineering will also be used to develop neural lncRNAs as therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Required Qualifications:

• Master's degree (or equivalent degree) or five to ten years of experience in the relevant specialization.
• Experience with CRISPR-based tools and neural development.
• Knowledge and experimental experience with lncRNA function in mouse models of neural development.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with RNA in situ hybridization as a tool for proximity based labeling of RNA, DNA and proteins.
• Bioinformatic/computation skills necessary for analyzing RNA/DNA/Protein interactomes.

See Table 24B for the salary range for this position. A reasonable estimate for this position is $75,600 - $88,000.

Document requirements

• Curriculum Vitae - CV must clearly list current and/or pending qualifications (e.g. board eligibility/certification, medical licensure, etc.).
• Cover Letter (Optional)
• Statement of Research (Optional)
• Statement of Teaching (Optional)

Reference requirements
