Research Assistant 2 - Beaverton, United States - OHSU
Description
Department Overview
The Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) has assembled a multidisciplinary team of scientists to respond to serious viral disease threats, including AIDS, chronic viral infection-associated diseases, newly emerging viral diseases and infectious diseases of the elderly.
Our programs are intended to span the continuum between basic and clinical science, in which discoveries are rapidly advanced from the level of molecular and cellular biology through animal models and ultimately into clinical testing.
The development of this unique program in immunology and virology provides an important training opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at OHSU.
This is why an important part of our mission is the training of young scientists in newer academic disciplines emerging at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute.
Function/Duties of Position
This individual will be responsible for specific sections of ongoing and newly funded projects using non-human primates in the study of the immune system, immunodeficiencies, infectious diseases, and specific pathogen free non-human primate projects for the Smedley Lab, located on the West Campus of OHSU.
They may have responsibility for overseeing labs or research units, collecting and processing animal tissues, and preparation of written reports and, as applicable, regulatory documentation.
They may assist with necropsies and sample collection and processing of terminal tissue samples.They may provide technical and administrative support for principle investigative staff of the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute, ONPRC, and the Experimental Pathology Unit to ensure research timepoints are coordinated and performed efficiently.
Coordinate with the veterinary, animal care, and surgical staff to facilitate project expectations, schedules, and progress, and in some cases to facilitate social environmental enrichment of non-human primates.
They will also be responsible for various general lab support duties, including maintenance of laboratory supplies and equipment, autoclaving, and disposal of waste.
