Title: Research Assistant I/II


Research Assistant, Harvard Medical School: 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.

Required Education: 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.
