Description:

The University of Virginia School of Medicine, Center for Public Health Genomics is seeking highly motivated candidates for a Research Associate position in bone biology. The successful applicant will participate in a highly innovative project with the goal of elucidating the molecular function of newly discovered genes affecting bone mass and development. The qualified candidate will be expected to perform a wide array of molecular and cellular techniques including primary osteoblast and osteoclast cell culture, in vitro assays (proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, mineralization, etc.), RNA interference, western blot analysis, nucleic acid purification, quantitative real-time PCR, DNA microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry. The successful applicant will also be expected to analyze gene function in vivo through the characterization of mouse knockout and transgenic models. The position requires a Ph.D. in Genetics, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or a related field and applicants must have a strong background in molecular and cellular biology. The successful applicant will also be expected to contribute to experimental design, data analysis and interpretation of experimental results. Preference will be given to those applicants with prior experience in bone biology.
