The Chivukula Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is seeking a motivated, enthusiastic candidate to join our group as a research lab technician (RT).
Our research group is interested in the cell biological basis of rare Mendelian diseases with highly tissue-specific manifestations, particularly those which disorder proteostasis (the process by which proteins are accurately synthesized, trafficked, and degraded). Our ongoing work focuses on diseases of protein aggregation in the brain and the lungs. We utilize a variety of experimental systems including cultured cells, organoids, and genetically engineered mice, applying tools including CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, protein and small molecule mass spectrometry, RNA analysis, sequencing, confocal microscopy, basic biochemistry, and in vivo disease modeling. We involve RTs in all aspects of the scientific process: theory, experimental design, execution, interpretation, and figure preparation. Prior RTs have gone on to prestigious graduate, medical, and nursing school positions following their tenure and training in the laboratory. Please note, the functions below are representative of major duties that are typically associated with these positions. Specific responsibilities may vary based upon departmental needs. Similarly, not all duties that have been outlined will be assigned to each position. Does this position require Patient Care?
