Research Associate I
Rutgers University
Recruitment/Posting Title Research Associate I Job Category Staff & Executive - Research (Laboratory/Non-Laboratory) Department RWJ-Child Health Institute Overview New Jersey’s academic health center, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) takes an integrated approach to educating students, providing clinical care, and conducting research, all with the goal of improving human health. Aligned with Rutgers University–New Brunswick and collaborating university wide, RBHS includes eight schools, a behavioral health network, and five centers and institutes that focus on cancer treatment and research, neuroscience, advanced biotechnology and medicine, environmental and occupational health, and health care policy and aging research.
Our faculty are teachers, clinicians, and scientists with unparalleled experience who advance medical innovation and provide patient care informed by the latest research findings. We offer an outstanding education in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, nursing, biomedical research, and the full spectrum of allied health careers.
Our clinical and academic facilities are located throughout the state—at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, including Piscataway; and at locations in Newark, Scotch Plains, Somerset, Stratford, and other locations. Clinical partners include Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, Newark’s University Hospital in Newark, and other affiliates.
Through this community of healers, scientists, and scholars, Rutgers is equipped as never before to transform lives. Posting Summary Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is seeking a Research Associate I for the Child Health Institute of New Jersey at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
Under the direction of Dr. Qi Yang (Principal Investigator), the Research Associate I (RAI) will be responsible for the design, analysis, interpretation, and presentation in oral and written form, a project focused development and function of novel innate immune cells in vital tissues such as the lung and the brain. The goal of this project is to determine the immune and inflammatory mechanisms of asthma.
The RAI will conduct highly specialized technical research requiring generation of mouse models of chronic asthma, measurement of airway resistance using Flexivent instrument with non-survival surgical procedures, legendplex assays, fluorescence activated cell sorting, magnetic activated cell sorting, multiple color microscope with Z-stacking, spatial transcriptome library generation and bioinformatics analysis, and scRNA-seq library generation and bioinformatics analysis. The project requires an expert with specialized molecular and cellular biology and animal physiology experience, as well as sophisticated bioinformatic skills, to generate spatial transcriptome and scRNA-seq libraries and perform extensive bioinformatic analysis, to generate mouse models of chronic asthma and to measure airway resistance using the Flexivent instrument with non-survival surgical procedures.
The RAI is expected to maintain a high level of research competency, knowledge, and skills to perform duties assigned by the PI. In addition, the RAI is expected to have excellent writing skills to prepare manuscripts based on their research, develop, and maintain standard operating procedures for the facility, and aid in developing the PI’s grant applications. The RAI will participate in lab meetings, research in progress seminars, present at conferences, as well as manage day-to-day operations of the lab, including the training of new personnel and the direct oversight of student trainees. A career development plan will be outlined with the PI and multiple resources to aid with these requirements will be provided by the PI.
Among the key duties of this position are the following: Perform specific laboratory techniques involve flow cytometry analysis, animal models of airway and brain disorders, singlecell RNA-seq, multiplex cytokine assays, and immunofluorescence imaging. Generate spatial transcriptome libraries and performing bioinformatics for spatial deconvolution analysis. Generate single-cell RNA-seq libraries and performing bioinformatics for single cell gene expression profiling. Perform non-survival surgical procedures to measure airway resistance using FlexiVent instrument. Generate mouse models of chronic asthma. Perform LegendPlex assays. Position Status Full Time Hours Per Week Daily Work Shift Day Work Arrangement This position requires a fully on-site work arrangement. FLSA Exempt Grade 26S Position Salary Annual Minimum Salary 73161.00 Annual Mid Range Salary 87905.00 Annual Maximum Salary 104450.00 Standard Hours 37.50 Union Description HPAE 5094 Payroll Designation PeopleSoft Benefits Rutgers offers a comprehensive benefit program to eligible employees.
