The Teresa Zimmers and Leonidas Koniaris laboratory uses human biospecimens, cell culture models, and mouse models to interrogate and understand the physiological response to injury or illness including liver injury, kidney injury, burn injury, and cancer. We seek novel targetable mechanisms to block adipose and muscle wasting in cachexia in order to promote function, quality of life, healing, and survival. The laboratory is highly collaborative, working closely with other labs and centers at OHSU and around the world. Funding is derived from OHSU, the Brenden Colson Center, the Knight Cancer Institute, NIH, and the Veterans Administration.
The Senior Research Associate will work jointly under PI’s Zimmers and Koniaris and will execute various murine injury models, in vitro studies, and analyses of human biospecimens. The position requires expertise in mouse modeling including surgery, common cell and molecular biology techniques, including cell and tissue processing, cell culture, tissue dissociation, DNA/RNA isolation, PCR, Western blotting, ELISAs, and gel electrophoresis. The candidate must possess exceptional organizational skills and a detail-oriented management style. An ability to work independently, as well as collaboratively, and to help train and supervise entry-level staff, students, and interns is required. The SRA will lead projects and lead or contribute to manuscripts and presentations, and like all members of the laboratory, will contribute to shared laboratory chores, record keeping, ordering, compliance, etc. The SRA, like all full-time lab members, will contribute to training of rotation students and summer students and will present at laboratory meetings and other research meetings. The SRA will have the opportunity to receive professional development and mentoring, including attendance at external training opportunities and national and international conferences.
Ability to organize the laboratory records and inventory.
Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively. Ability to work in a team environment.
