Job Title
Sr Laboratory Specialist
Job Description
The goal of the Buckley lab is to utilize genomic and proteomic approaches in normal and malignant hematopoietic cells as well as mouse models to study molecular mechanisms regulating cell fate decisions. Our research specifically focuses on studying posttranslational modifications by ubiquitin E3 ligases in self-renewal, differentiation, and transformation in leukemia and lymphoma.
Relevant experience could include molecular biology, tissue culture of both primary cells and cell lines, mass spectrometry including quantitative proteomics, ubiquitination assays, flow cytometry, and/or mouse models of leukemia and lymphoma. Must have hands-on experience with rodents (handling, various dosing techniques, tissue collection).
Huntsman Cancer Institute is committed to cancer prevention, care, and survivorship for all communities within the area we serve – which includes Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming – with impact worldwide.
Responsibilities
- Work collaboratively to assist postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students with research projects
- Perform a variety of laboratory experiments using both routine and special techniques, including:
- Molecular biology procedures such as DNA purification, PCR, gel electrophoresis, cloning, immunoprecipitation, and Western blotting
