POSITIONS VACANT

Title : (Project Leader) Molecular Biologist (Ref#SC12501)

Description
Work within an interdisciplinary team for the development of advanced biosensor devices for the rapid detection and identification of pathogens. This position will require the engineering of living cells, molecules, and surfaces for innovative functions. Will perform molecular biological protocols, including plasmid preparation, competent cell production, and maintenance of mammalian cell lines. May also participate in creating novel mergers of biological and electronic components for new systems, with applications ranging from high-energy-density renewable "living batteries" to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments.
Conduct research into the structure, function, ecology, biotechnology and genetics of micro-organisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and algae

Duties and Responsibilities

Qualification:
Masters' degree (PHD desirable) in Molecular Biology or Biochemistry. In-depth knowledge of standard biological techniques such as plasmid preparation, subcloning, bacterial transformation, and blotting.
Should be practiced at electrophoresis and chromatography assays. Must have experience with tissue culture and be able to transfect cell lines using various protocols. Experience with flow-cytometry analysis on transfected cells also desired.
