Food
and Drug Administration, Bethesda, Maryland
TWO POSITIONS: MicroRNAs as Biomarkers,
Pathogen Reduction Technologies
Two research positions supported
by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) contract
fellowship training program are available immediately in the Section of Cell
Biology, Laboratory of Cellular Hematology at CBER, FDA, located on the NIH
campus in Bethesda, Maryland. One research position will primarily focus on the
application of microRNA in biomarker discovery for RBC and platelet cell
quality during storage and microRNA-mRNA interactions in stored blood cells
(RBC and platelets) to enhance the shelf-life of stored blood cells. The second
position will focus on developing novel pathogen reduction technologies (PRT)
for stored blood cells and functional evaluation of PRT treated blood cells in
small animal models.
REQUIREMENTS:
The successful candidate will
have a MS or PhD degree in biological sciences, and extensive experience in molecular
biology and performance of complex laboratory protocols. The successful
applicant will be responsible for running assays, reporting results, assisting
the Principal Investigator (C.D. Atreya) in developing and validating new
tests, and some aspects of laboratory administration. Experience in microRNA
work and small animal experiments will be a plus. The applicant must have
received a graduate degree within five years of the appointment start date.
Applicants should be eligible to work in the USA (U.S. citizens or visa
holders).
Salary will be determined to
reflect the candidate's experiences.
