Job Description
The Lipinski lab’s research is dedicated to understanding how genetic and environmental influences interact in causing common human birth defects, like clefts of the lip and palate. We are recruiting a research intern to our ongoing investigation into the role of DNA methylation in orofacial clefting. Following training the team member will be responsible for conducting animal experiments, tissue dissection and imaging, modified CRISPR/cas9, qPCR, DNA and RNA extraction, and methylome transcriptome data analyses. The successful candidate will also engage our research team and campus collaborators to plan experiments, analyze and interpret data, and prepare research manuscripts.
Position Duties: 1. Mouse colony husbandry, maintenance, and genotyping
2. Conducting mouse exposure trials.
3. Mouse tissue dissection and imaging.
4. Cellular and molecular assays like in situ hybridization, real time PCR, and immunohistochemistry.
5. Conducting literature searches and coordinating with research collaborators.
Application Instructions: Highly motivated and intellectually curious applicants who are eager to take ownership of their work should provide a cover letter describing why they are interested in the position, a current resume/C.V. that includes relevant course work and grades earned, cumulative grade point average, laboratory research experience, and the contact information for three references.
