Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is seeking a Temporary Research Assistant position with the Child Health Institute at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
Under the direction of the (PI) and lab members, the Temp Research Assistant (TRA) will be responsible for the performance and analysis of experiments focused on studying human stem cell models of genetic mutations causing autism and intellectual disability (ID). The project is part of a larger effort in the lab to define the role of intracellular signaling in establishing male bias in intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. While some experience with cell culture is preferred, the TRA will work closely with a postdoctoral fellow in the lab in maintaining several induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSCs) and differentiating them into neurons. They should have a broad (college-level) knowledge of biochemistry, cell biology, and neurobiology. The TRA will also be responsible for using confocal microscopy techniques to analyze multiple aspects of neuronal differentiation. As part of their career development to transition to the next phase of their career, the TRA will be trained in improving their experimental design skills and their oral and written presentation skills.
