Research Assistant (Pinheiro Lab) (m, f, x) full-time

at  Research Institute of Molecular Pathology

The Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna pursues world-class research in basic molecular biology. It is located at the Vienna BioCenter and largely sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim. With over 250 scientists from 40 countries, the IMP is committed to scientific discovery of fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying complex biological phenomena.
We are currently searching for a full-time research assistant, starting at the earliest convenience in the laboratory of Dr. Diana Pinheiro at the IMP in Vienna, Austria. The lab’s research focuses on understanding the molecular and biophysical mechanisms underlying early embryonic development, using the zebrafish embryo and human embryonic stem (ES) cells as model systems. The lab employs a wide array of molecular biology, in vivo imaging and biophysical approaches to identify new players involved in embryogenesis and characterize their mechanism of action.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS:

The qualified applicant should have theoretical background in molecular biology (such as completed Master’s or PhD degree) and laboratory experience. Experience in molecular biology and genetics is highly desirable. Experience with zebrafish and/or cell culture (especially ES cells) is desirable, but not strictly necessary. The role of the research assistant will be to manage purchases, stocks and shared equipment, as well as general organization tasks, for instance, scheduling group meetings. Finally, the applicant will also be responsible for supporting the work on projects focusing on the molecular and biophysical mechanisms underlying embryogenesis, for instance, by designing and cloning new fluorescent reporters, or generating knock-out lines, in zebrafish or ES cells. The distribution of tasks between organizational and research is intended to be about 50-50 overall.
