We use a newborn animal model to elucidate physiologic and biochemical mechanisms that are a consequence of neonatal lung injury and potentially lead to airway dysfunction. The focus of the laboratory is the use of techniques in protein biochemistry, molecular biology and immunohistochemistry to examine effect of neonatal hyperoxia on lung physiology and signal transduction.
The researcher would assist with treatment to animals (hyperoxic exposures or different infections), perfusing animals and processing tissues for RT-PCR, ELISA, Western blot, cryosectioning and immunostaining and other molecular biology work. The researcher will carry general laboratory business including cell culture and propagation of viruses but would also have considerable scope to plan and carry out experiments that assist the projects in the laboratory. I am looking for a person who is well organized and efficient but also has the ability to work independently and eagerness to learn to use new techniques.

Essential functions:
This position requires a combination of excellent laboratory and organizational skills. The major scientific focus of this position is to treat animals and prepare tissue for molecular biology experiments to understand the lung hyperreactivity. The standard methods currently used in our studies include gel electrophoresis, molecular biology, immunohistochemistry, cell culture. The Researcher is also expected to carry out data analysis resulting from these experiments. The position requires meticulous record keeping of experimental procedures. He/She has responsibility for the ordering of standard laboratory consumables and also to communicate on occasion with customer service representatives to obtain desired chemicals or equipments.

Requirements
Experience: 1-2 years in molecular biology lab. required, including experience with standard laboratory equipment (i.e. PCR cyclers, protein and DNA gels, ELISA). Preferred also is knowledge of basic techniques in animal surgery and skills with tissue culture. Experience with HPLC and Laser Capture microscopy is a plus.
