Job Description:
Clicking "Apply Now" opens the link in a new window. Job Summary The Department of Emergency Medicine is seeking a highly
motivated Research Technician to join the Greineder lab. Our lab
studies targeted drug delivery and translational drug design. The
overarching goal is to develop novel therapeutic and technologies
for emergent diseases that don't currently have great treatment
options. As an Emergency Medicine lab, our focus is less on one
specific disease or organ system and more on what the specific
pharmacologic needs are for each disease. As a technician, this
means exposure to a wide range of exciting projects and
applications -- currently, we are working on a bispecific antibody
that crosses the blood brain barrier and protects neurons from
stroke, cardiac arrest, and TBI, a fusion protein therapeutic for
an untreatable form of hemolytic anemia, a nanoparticle to target
brain cancer and others. In each case, the techniques required as a
technician are the same: molecular biology to clone and assemble
the targeting ligands and therapeutic cargo, protein production in
bacteria or mammalian cells, affinity chromatography for
purification, and HPLC for QC and, occasionally, bioconjugation. We
test our novel agents in animals and, in some cases, realistic
models of human disease, with an eye towards the creation of new
intellectual property and translation to the clinic. The lab
environment is highly collaborative and all contributions are
honored with co-authorship. Those looking to do real drug design
and translational pharmacology are encouraged to apply. Mission Statement Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations
and communities through excellence in education, patient care,
community service, research and technology development, and through
leadership activities in Michigan, nationally and internationally.
Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three
critical components; patient care, education and research that
together enhance our contribution to society. Responsibilities* Primary responsibilities will be planning and conducting bench
experiments and meticulous documentation. Analysis of data,
typically with the assistance of the PI, will also be expected. The
technician will have some responsibilities for lab maintenance --
e.g. participating in lab safety self-inspections,
identifying/ordering supplies and key reagents, etc. Required Qualifications* Bachelor's degree and past employment or work experience of no
less than 1 years as a full time research technician working in
molecular biology. A strong foundation in math (ability to
calculate dilutions, familiarity with scientific notation, etc) is
a must. The successful candidate will have a strong work ethic,
collaborative attitude, and excellent organizational and time
management skills. Must be enthusiastic about developing new
expertise and taking some degree of ownership over a project or
projects within the lab. Desired Qualifications* Bachelors's degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, biology,
engineering (e.g., BME, ChemE) or related scientific degree, with 2
or more years of experience in laboratory research. Previous
experience with molecular biology (cloning), mammalian or insect
cell culture, protein production and/or purification, flow
cytometry, microscopy, HPLC, handling of lab animals, and animal
surgery are all preferred. The successful candidate will own
projects based on previous experience and expertise. Prior
supervision of less-experienced students and technicians is
desired. Work Schedule Full time Monday through Friday. Flexible schedule
preferred. Additional Information The Department of Emergency Medicine at Michigan Medicine is
committed to creating an environment that is welcoming to all. We
strive to value the unique contributions of individuals, and
support a culture of inclusivity among our employees, learners and
larger community. This includes supporting the development of a
diverse workforce across identities such as the race, ethnicity,
national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age,
citizenship, marital status, religion, language, disability, and
Veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity and an
