Research Assistant I/II<br>
<br>
<br>
<u>Research Assistant, Harvard Medical School:</u> A research
assistant position is currently available studying proteins and
protein complexes responsible for the regulation, repair and
replication of DNA. The position, in the Biological Chemistry
and Molecular Pharmacology Department of Harvard Medical School, is
part of a multi-institutional research program investigating the
mechanisms maintaining genetic integrity. The position
will focus on the production of well-behaved proteins and
protein complexes for structure determination by x-ray crystallography
and biochemical assays requiring milligram amounts of protein.
The research assistant will construct novel vectors and develop new
screens and selection assays for highly expressed and soluble
protein. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to
develop protein expression systems using several bacterial strains and
insect cell lines. Additionally, the research assistant will
clone various genes with activity relating to DNA repair for the
production of proteins for structure/function assays. The
position, at the interface of molecular biology, protein biochemistry
and structural biology, will train the candidate in a host of
experimental techniques and applications at the forefront of
biotechnology.<br>
<br>
<b>Required Education:</b> Preferences for applicants with an
undergraduate degree in a field related to the biological or chemical
sciences. Prior professional or undergraduate experience is
preferred but candidates will be trained relevant techniques in an
experienced setting and encouraged to develop their ideas.
Applicants seeking the opportunity to contribute independently and
intellectually in an academic research environment are highly
encouraged to apply.</font></div>
