    Default job background
    Description

    Founded in 1824, the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) is the 11th oldest medical school in the country and the first in the nation's capital.

    Since its establishment, the school has been at the forefront of medical education, and has grown to include highly-ranked programs in the health and biomedical sciences.

    With dozens of top-tier residency programs, SMHS is a competitive and esteemed destination for medical school graduates across the country.

    The Chung Lab in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and the Cancer Center of the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences is seeking a capable and enthusiastic Senior Research Assistant to conduct work on important questions about cancer metastasis by further developing and using our custom super-resolution microscopy and high-end analysis tools.

    Our central research theme focuses on fundamental mechanisms of how cancers progress from initial tumors to metastatic diseases. However, the molecular and cellular details of how this transition occurs are unclear.

    The Chung Lab aims to elucidate the role of biophysical and biomechanical changes that occur in tumor cells as they take on metastatic characteristics.

    To this end, we employ novel, cutting-edge biophysical methods and conventional biochemical/cell biological tools.

    The former include single molecule tracking (SMT) in 2D and 3D on living cells, super-resolution microscopy such as SIM (structured illumination microscopy), and our custom MAxSIM, along with mathematical modeling/simulations we develop ourselves.

    This position presents an exciting opportunity to engage in groundbreaking biophysical research focused on the mechanisms underlying tumor cell metastasis, utilizing our state-of-the-art super-resolution microscopy techniques.

    Working closely with the Principal Investigator, the key responsibilities of this role involve assisting in experimental execution, meeting data production deadlines, acquiring proficiency in novel experimental procedures, and maintaining efficient lab organization and management.

    Highly skilled in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, demonstrating expertise in diverse techniques such as cell culture, gel electrophoresis (including western blotting and immunoprecipitation), cloning/mutagenesis, immunofluorescence, and confocal imaging.

    Demonstrated exceptional work ethic, evidenced by a successful track record of collaborations, published research, and a genuine enthusiasm for acquiring knowledge in advanced research methodologies.

    Additional experience with human samples or animal studies would be highly desired.
