The Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics at the University of Virginia School of Medicine seeks a Staff Scientist for a collaborative project between the Levental, Bao, Kenworthy, and Kiessling/Tamm groups.
The Staff Scientist will investigate the hypothesis that proteins recruit specific paralipidomes by purifying membrane proteins from mammalian expression systems and facilitating mass spec based lipidomic analysis. Primary responsibilities will include establishing and maintaining mammalian expression systems for large-scale membrane protein production, membrane protein isolation in sufficient yields for lipidomics, data analysis and interpretation, as well as manuscript preparation. It is expected that these tasks will require significant methods development, as various aspects of the project are being newly established. Another key aspect of the role is interfacing across four labs.
Staff Scientists provide technical lab support by performing complex lab and research related tasks. They act as specialists on research methods and equipment functions specific to research projects. They have the authority to adapt methods and procedures to meet the needs of research. They are distinguished from Lab Technicians by the types and duration of assignments, as well as the skills and expertise necessary to serve as resources on non-routine problems. Staff Scientists perform daily activities without supervision; their longer-term assignments require greater oversight.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Education: PhD in molecular biology/biochemistry/biophysics required.
Experience: 4+ year of relevant lab experience required, including protein biochemistry and lipid biophysics.
Licensure: None.
TO APPLY:
Applicants apply HERE . Internal applicants may search and apply for jobs on the UVA Internal Careers website . Include the following documents:
All documents can be loaded into the resume submission field, multiple documents can be submitted into this one field. Internal applicants must apply through their UVA Workday profile. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Before a formal offer of employment is extended, the selected candidate will undergo a background check per university policy. This position is restricted and contingent upon the continuation of funding. This position will remain open until filled.
