Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative research team.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with one or more of the following is highly desirable:

Flow cytometry
Molecular cloning
RNA interference (siRNA, miRNA, morpholinos)
Cell migration and adhesion assays
Bioinformatics or RNA-seq analysis

Position Responsibilities:

The Research Assistant will:

Maintain mammalian cell cultures under BSL-2 conditions.
Perform RNA and miRNA extraction, end-point, and quantitative PCR.
Conduct flow cytometry and Western blot experiments and quantitative protein analysis.
Perform mammalian cell transfections and gene knockdown/overexpression experiments using electroporation and Lipofectamine-based transfection.
