The Gordon Laboratory seeks a motivated Senior Research Specialist to support cutting-edge experimental genetics and immunology studies. 

Our lab applies cutting-edge CRISPR techniques and systems-level analyses to gain mechanistic insights into human disease and explore novel immunotherapeutic and antiviral approaches. In this role, you will focus on advanced CRISPR and molecular cloning approaches. You will contribute to multiple projects, support laboratory organization, develop novel protocols, and participate in study analyses and documentation. 

We strongly believe that the best science emerges from an environment of generous collaboration, reinforced by a culture of learning, curiosity, and the sharing of skills and advice. In considering new members of our group, we value a positive can-do attitude, evidence of previous success in laboratory environments, attention to detail, and cultural add. This is a superb opportunity for a sharp scientist to rapidly develop new laboratory skills in a supportive learning environment.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in a scientific field and four years of research experience, OR equivalent combination of experience, education, and training.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Mammalian tissue culture experience
• Virology experience / handling of blood borne pathogens
• BSL2* or BSL3 tissue culture experience
• Work with human blood and/or primary human immune cells
• Mass spectrometry experience
• Quantitative PCR
