The Kumar Lab, within the Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine, is seeking a Life Science Research Professional to assist on a project studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control the development, maintenance, and repair of the pulmonary blood vessels of the mouse, with the long-term goal of understanding and treating pulmonary vascular disease. The Kumar laboratory's long-term goals are to identify the cells, cell behaviors, and interactions that give rise to pulmonary vascular disease, delineate the molecular pathways that control them, and determine how they can be manipulated to prevent or reverse disease.
The selected candidate will employ cutting-edge genetic and single-cell approaches, including single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics in mouse and human patient tissues, high-resolution deep tissue imaging, in vivo lineage tracing, and pharmacologic manipulation in mice to discover how cell patterns, behaviors, interactions, and functions are altered in pulmonary disease.
The LSRP will perform experiments under the supervision of the PI. The job requires someone who is independent and trustworthy, capable of maintaining their own schedule to achieve hours outlined in posting. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working on several ongoing projects simultaneously with multiple lab members, highlighting the need for meticulous note taking, time management, and excellent communication skills. S/he may be expected to troubleshoot existing protocols and develop novel protocols and procedures. The LSRP will be responsible for managing the lab's mouse colony. The position will also entail some lab support tasks such as ordering and maintaining lab supplies and equipment, maintaining lab records, and adhering to safety regulations. The candidate will be mentored by faculty and will be encouraged to contribute to publications, present work at meetings, participate in weekly lab meetings; and motivated candidates will have the opportunity to lead projects.
**Duties include:**
· Routine maintenance of the lab's mouse colony. This means working with the PI and other researchers to determine needed genotypes for experiments, designing the genetic crosses to generate those animals, weaning and genotyping cages in a timely and accurate manner, and maintaining detailed searchable records.
· Will be expected to assist with regulatory aspects of animal research, including IRB submissions or APLAC protocols.
· Plan approach to experiments in support of research projects in lab based on knowledge of scientific theory.
· Independently conduct experiments; maintain detailed records of experiments, archiving of data and tissue specimens, and outcomes.
· Interpret and perform analyses of experiment results; offer suggestions regarding modifications to procedures and protocols in collaboration with senior researcher and lab members.
· Review literature on an ongoing basis to remain current with new procedures and apply learnings to related research.
