Description
Organization Overview
Our laboratory uses molecular and genetic approaches in mice to shed light on how skin stem cells make and repair tissues – and how this process goes awry in genetic diseases, cancers, and inflammatory disorders.
Overview
The Rockefeller University, a leading biomedical research institution, seeks a Research Assistant to join the Fuchs Laboratory of Mammalian Cell Biology & Development. This individual will be working to aid in the maintenance and propagation of the critical mouse models housed in our animal facility. The Fuchs Laboratory currently supports 30 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in their research studies reliant upon these models. This individual may be trained in additional procedures, and surgical techniques if exceptional ability in animal work is shown.
Responsibilities
Specific tasks include:
- Will assist with the daily mouse colony management, including animal handling, husbandry, monitoring breeding cages, tissue biopsies, weaning, and phenotyping.
- Will aid in implementing and maintaining a database for tracking animal lineage and organizing genotyping data and will assist in monitoring cage census.
- Will communicate with laboratory investigators to ensure the health and welfare of their research subjects, stocking of supplies and equipment maintenance.
- Will have opportunity to attend laboratory meetings and planning sessions.
- Individuals with long term potential and ability to learn more technical procedures will train to perform cryopreservation and resuscitation of mouse embryos, and may assist in ultrasound guided microinjection of early embryonic stages in mice.
Qualifications
