Senior Research Scientist, Human Stem Cell And Genome Editing at NYU Langone Health in New York, NY
Position
Summary:
Senior Research Scientist position is available immediately in the laboratory of Chengzu Long, PhD, at NYU Langone's Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology and Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Center for Stem Cell Biology. Our projects focus on advancing the novel genome-editing technology to model and treat cardiac and neuromuscular diseases. Monogenic disorders affect millions of people worldwide. The recent advance in novel precision genome-editing technologies and human pluripotent stem cell biology are revolutionizing our approach to study the pathology of diseases and eventually to develop the potential therapeutics for these diseases. Using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) system-mediated genome editing, we successfully prevented muscular dystrophy in the mouse model. We are optimizing genome-editing strategies on the culprit genes in patients' cardiomyocytes, neurons and three-dimensional engineered heart muscle. Responsible for collaborating with Principal Investigators (PI) and working independently within the scientific framework of the PI's laboratory. Job Responsibilities:
Initiates, interprets, organizes, executes, and coordinates research assignments critical to departments mission. Formulates and conducts research on problems of considerable scope and complexity. Explores subject area and defines scope and selection of problems for investigation through conceptually related studies or series of projects of lesser scope. Makes decisions and recommendations that have a major impact on extensive scientific research activities. Develops new ideas that promote current research. Exercises a high degree of creativity, foresight, and mature judgment in planning, organizing, and guiding extensive scientific research programs and activities of outstanding novelty and/or importance. May manage the operations of a lab for the Principal Investigator by supervising Post Docs and technicians. Oversees the maintenance and upkeep of all instruments and laboratory facilities. Ensures timely and accurate completion of research projects. May provide students with technical guidance and direction in the operation of various sample preparation techniques, extraction lines, and equipment as well as general laboratory practices and safety protocols. May seek grant funding from external sources in support of their independent research projects with consent of the PI and the Department Chair. May participate in writing grant proposals. May be responsible research/lab quality control and compliance. May develop protocol for the collection and quality of research data. Develops research techniques and methodologies. May determine and establish laboratory policies, procedures and practices. Maintains a thorough knowledge of the advances in specialized fields through attendance of scientific conferences. May make significant contributions to scientific papers. Is a resource/ author/ co-author for reports and presentations. May provide recommendations for equipment purchases and for the redesign of lab space. May coordinate the activity and experimental design between various labs, scientific staff, and collaborators. Identifies and resolves technical problems. May serve on internal committees to help further goals of research projects and bring new expertise to the research program. Performs other related duties as assigned. Additional Position
