Must perform work as required by the Functional Genomics team, with typical tasks such as:

- Maintain and calibrate genetics instruments, pipettes and equipment in compliance with ISO-9001 requirements and internal laboratory operating procedures and maintain the records of calibration work for laboratory equipment.

- Perform genetic laboratory work including extracting genetic material (e.g., DNA, RNA) from blood, tissue, and other biological specimens; QA/QC work such as spectrophotometric analyses; and processes such as amplification and library preparation. These processes must be performed with a high success rate, with no more than a 5% failure rate (sample loss/degradation) when given high-quality starting material.

- Perform repetitive hand-work, including precise, accurate, and repetitive pipetting of small volumes of liquid.

- Experience working with RNA, such as performing RNA extractions, qPCR/RT-PCR, or preparation of cDNA libraries from RNA.

- Perform literature research and execute tasks to test laboratory methods, with supervision.

- Have experience performing QA/QC of genetic material, such as spectrophotometric analyses.

- Able to sit or stand for long periods to perform laboratory bench work.

- Maintain coherent records in a laboratory notebook and the Functional Genomics’ electronic laboratory information system.

- Summarize work upon request, including compiling results, reporting descriptive statistics such as averages, and documenting findings from laboratory tests.

- Obtain and maintain Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) certification in human subject research including Biomedical (Biomed) coursework, and related certification when necessitated by individual projects.

- Obtain and maintain training in blood borne pathogens, and take appropriate precautions for safety (e.g., use of PPE) while in the laboratory.

- Perform human subjects work in compliance with Institutional Review Board requirements and federal regulations.

- Learn and apply new techniques as developed by the Functional Genomics team -and as necessary to implement use of new equipment and laboratory procedures.

- Attend regular laboratory meetings and provide updates of his/her work status upon request.

- Provide all data, writing, and results to the Functional Genomics team.
