Description
JHT, a government contractor, is seeking a Molecular Biologist to
support NOAA’s Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular
Research (CCEHBR) Coral Health and Disease Program conducting research
on fundamental biological processes in corals at the biochemical,
cellular and molecular level. The primary purpose of this position is to
build an improved knowledge base for determining disease mechanisms in
corals exposed to a variety of environmental stress. Involves a full
range of professional activities, including the development and
implementation of plans, projects and methodologies related to genomics
and proteomics of marine organisms. Develops protocols for specific
experiments; recommends applicable methods and procedures based on
review of the scientific literature or on results of previous
experiments; applies a full range of laboratory methods, procedures and
techniques applicable to the research area and making minor adaptations
or modifications, as needed; uses a variety of sophisticated laboratory
instruments; recognizes potential problems with experimental results;
draws inferences/conclusions from experimental data; documents findings
in the form of records and reports that may be used for presentations or
publications; and communicates effectively both orally and in writing.
The work requires knowledge and expertise in molecular and cell biology
procedures such as protein purification, 1 & 2-D electrophoresis,
peptide sequencing, and column chromatography. The work also calls for
extensive use of procedures such as isolation of genomic and cDNA
clones, sequencing, genomic DNA mapping, PCR amplification, DNA and RNA
preparation, southern, western and northern blotting techniques,
quantitative analysis of protein and RNA, radioactive and no-radioactive
labeling of DNA, oligonucleonide and RNA fragments analysis,
autoradiography and immuno-blotting.
Requirements
Requires professional knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biological
principles, theories and practices at the level of PhD or MS with a
minimum of three years work experience and must have knowledge of
established methodologies sufficient to perform, modify and verify a
broad range of genetic, biochemical and/or molecular biological analyses.
