Research Assistant | Laboratory of Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry

About the role

Our lab is interested in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic ribosome assembly. We are studying the initial events of this process by using a multidisciplinary approach that combines structural biology (X-ray crystallography and cry-EM) with biochemical, genetic, and cell biology techniques.

Responsibilities

The Research Assistant will be directly supervised by a postdoc and a senior member of the department. Responsibilities will include general laboratory duties such as inventory, organization and pick-up of supplies as well as supporting work for ongoing projects in the laboratory.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in science required; advanced degree and an interest in structural biology or biochemistry strongly preferred.
• Master's degree is preferred.
• Must be highly detail-oriented and focused, inherently motivated, and able to work as part of a team as well as a mentored atmosphere for a research project.

Pay

Compensation Range: Min USD $50,000.00/Yr. - Max USD $55,000.00/Yr.
