BSD BMB - Adams Lab
The Adams lab is focused on defining the molecular and mechanistic aspects of immune recognition. We use biochemistry, protein engineering, structural biology and in vitro/ex vivo functional systems to understand how immune cells engage with their environment and are regulated in human health and disease. Much of what we do is engineering proteins and using them to test models based on structural biology work. This at-will position is wholly or partially funded by contractual grant funding which is renewed under provisions set by the grantor of the contract. Employment will be contingent upon the continued receipt of these grant funds and satisfactory job performance.
The job performs routine assignments related to scientific research projects. Ensures compliance of research activities with institutional, state, and federal regulatory policies, procedures, directives and mandates. Analyzes possible solutions using standard procedures. Writes articles, reports and manuscripts. Assists in drafting presentations on research findings. We are looking for a highly-organized and level-headed laboratory manager to ensure that all lab operations run smoothly by ordering supplies, maintaining health and safety protocols, managing equipment maintenance and repairs, reviewing and renewing IRB and IBC protocols and training new lab members on the general functions of the lab. This individual will be responsible for ensuring that lab members follow research safety requirements and maintaining the lab manual. This individual will also perform research support functions for certain projects in lab and will have a basic understanding of molecular biology and tissue culture protocols.

• The position will be performing molecular biology, protein expression and tissue culture/FACS.
