Job Summary: | The laboratory of Joe Nassour at the University of Colorado - Anschutz Medical Campus (www.nassourlab.com) is looking for a motivated and ambitious Research Services Senior Professional to join their team. The Nassour lab studies various aspects of telomere biology, with a specific focus on understanding how the shortening of telomeres during replicative aging creates barriers to cell proliferation and restricts the development of cancer. The lab employs a combination of advanced techniques in cell biology, molecular biology, and single cell multiomics to explore the interplay between telomere function, innate immune signaling, and autophagy. As the Research Services Senior Professional, you will be assisting other members in the lab with ongoing studies including documentation and preparation of materials. The position will primarily entail standard molecular biology and biochemistry (PCR, cloning, plasmid preparation, etc.), cell culture, and advanced molecular methods such as Illumina sequencing library preparation.

Why Join Us: | Our department conducts research across a wide biological scale for fundamental scientific understanding with applications to many disease contexts. The overarching goal is to reach a level of molecular insight that helps develop therapeutic approaches to disease. As biochemists and molecular geneticists, we are in the midst of an unprecedented time of discovery - our conception of the molecular biology of cells is going from the equivalent of grainy black-and-white to high-resolution technicolor. From deciphering the choreography of transcription complexes, chromosomes, and RNA molecules within cells to developing novel approaches to 3D molecular structure determination to understanding how viruses hijack a cell’s machinery and alter its metabolome, the researchers in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics (BMG) are at the forefronts of their fields both conceptually and technologically. The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, tuition benefits, ECO pass, paid time off – vacation, sick, holidays and more.
