Job Title: Cell Biology Scientist
Location Boulder, Colorado, USA
Salary: 20 USD – 22 USD/Hour
Eligibility Criteria:
BS in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related biological science with experience routinely passaging cell cultures within an industrial or academic research institute setting (cell culture experience from a lab course does not qualify).
Technical Skills:
- Routine passage of cell culture lines (insect or mammalian)
- Able to work independently yet cooperatively; enthusiastic about learning new biology and techniques, and readily apply those learnings to immediate challenges.
- Excellent communications and documentation skills.
- Familiar with Microsoft Office.
Preferred Qualification:
Highly desirable experience includes:
- Â flow cytometry
- insect or mammalian cell transfection
- protein expression in fore mentioned hosts
- gel electrophoresis for DNA and protein analysis
- immunoblotting
- E. coli transformation
- molecular cloning
- PCR
Physical RequirementsÂ
- Able to lift 50lb objects with dimensions 12 inches in height and 26 inches in width.
- Must have flexible work schedule as some weekend work required
Skills:
protein expression
Additional Skills & Qualifications:
protein purification, protein expression, molecular cloning
Position Summary:
This scientist will be responsible for maintaining and scaling up (5L) insect cell, mammalian cell, and E. coli cultures for recombinant protein expressions. A secondary role is generating, expanding, and assessing baculovirus stocks to enable large scale expressions. The individual may also be involved in molecular cloning and basic protein analysis and characterization. Knowledge in cell biology and experience in handling cell cultures are essential for this role.
Responsibilities:
- Passage suspended insect and mammalian cell cultures.
- Generate and maintain baculovirus stocks for expressing recombinant proteins in insect cells.
- Perform titrations and flow cytometry to determine viral titer.
- Evaluate and optimize protein expression in insect cells, mammalian cells, and E. coli.
- The multi-liter scale of protein expressions in insect cells and E. coli.
- Document and maintain records on constructs, strains, and protein expressions.
- Perform molecular cloning and DNA preparation for transfection.
- Primary contact is within the Structural Biology group but will also work tightly with the smaller subset of cell and molecular biologists within Structural Biology.
