- ** Job Description
** The Department of Pharmacology at the Kraemer Lab has an outstanding opportunity for Research Scientist/Engineer 3 to join their team.  This Kraemer Lab works to understand the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease associated with ageing. The lab investigates how protein aggregation drives disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal degeneration, with a focus on identifying the genetic drivers of tau- and TDP-43–mediated neurodegeneration.

Through this work, the lab seeks to uncover key pathways of neurotoxicity, with the ultimate goal of identifying therapeutic targets and developing strategies to prevent disease progression.
** About this Opportunity:
** Report to Professor, this Research Scientist/Engineer 3 provides comprehensive research by executing and developing assays to investigate gene and protein interactions with neurodegenerative disease genes, proteins, or whole organism models, evaluating protein function, localization, and interaction using biochemical, immunocytochemical, and/or microbiological assays, utilizing fluorescent microscopy and imaging, and addressing the role of disease-associated mutations in neurodegeneration.

This position will also provide general laboratory support through instruction of standard methods for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and technicians, maintaining laboratory consumable supply levels, coordinating media production teams and inter-lab collaborations, maintaining equipment and organizing logistics, and assisting with lab management duties as needed. These responsibilities and research activities will focus on advancing the field of neurodegenerative disease research.
*
* Key Responsibilities:

**** Laboratory work (60%):
*** Perform molecular biology techniques (i.e. PCR, DNA isolation/sequencing, cloning) across multiple organisms (E. coli,

C. elegans, S. cerevisiae, and M. musculus).
* Lead protein expression, purification, and post-translational modification efforts.
* Identify and evaluate the roles of genetic factors and novel compounds for regulating in vivo disease associated phenotypes utilizing

C. elegans and development of new methodologies.
* Contribute to the design and execution of novel genetic modification techniques in

C. elegans models of disease to investigate biological mechanisms, such as implementation of CRISPR, RMCE, and classic irradiation based integration.
* Manage projects of moderate size and test feasibility of experimental goals, lending support to other projects and lab members as needed.
* Modify and improve upon existing procedures for benefit of the team.
* Supervise media production team and maintain laboratory stocks for optimal productivity.
** Data analysis and presentation (10%):
*** Keep detailed records.
* Analyze and interpret data.
