The primary mission of Cornell’s Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering is to educate students to understand the human body as an integrated system through quantitative engineering analysis and to use that understanding to design better therapeutic strategies, devices, and diagnostics.
A mission of nearly equal importance is to serve society by conducting research that develops quantitative linkages across scales in the human body and uses that development to build new tools to improve human health.
What You Will DoThis is a full time, two-year term position with the possibility of renewal based on available funding, performance, and business needs.
The Brito Lab, located in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is seeking a full-time research technician who will help build and develop new technical approaches for a translational program from the lab that turns computational predictions of human-commensal protein interactions into novel therapeutics for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and autoimmune disease.
The work involves molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and cell-based functional assays. The technician will be expected to participate in independent and ongoing research projects pertaining to host-microbiome interactions and the validation of therapeutic candidates, as well as assist with general lab upkeep. Experimental duties are highly variable but may include: validating predicted protein-protein interactions involving cloning and molecular assays, functional and cell-based assays, and recombinant protein expression and purification.
There may also be the option to support in vivo efficacy studies. The technician will
