The laboratory of David A. Scicchitano in the Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a Research Assistant to work on the mechanisms underlying genome maintenance, particularly in response to agents that damage DNA.
DNA damage within the transcription unit of a gene has profound effects on the quality and quantity of transcripts when the region is expressed. The location of DNA damage also influences its repair. This position will examine the effect of ablating DNA repair enzymes on other DNA repair pathways that might act to compensate for the loss. Specifically, RNAseq and single-cell RNAseq will be used to address changes to the transcriptome. The current approaches include PCR, RNAseq, western analysis, pretoemics, and metabolomics. The ideal candidate will have knowledge of some of the following: recombinant DNA, molecular biology, SDS-PAGE, cell culture, and laboratory experience using standard scientific equipment. Experience with western blots is ideal.
A master?s degree in biology is preferred, although a bachelor?s degree in biology with completion of a research project as part of the degree course will be considered. The terms of employment are competitive. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree, a one-page summary of research interests that focuses on why this position is of interest, and two letters of recommendation submitted directly to Interfolio, all in PDF format. Note that this position will be based in Abu Dhabi so candidates must be prepared to live and work in the United Arab Emirates.
