The position is a Research Specialist in the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology, a basic research and teaching department in the School of Medicine. The PI runs an active, well-funded research lab with undergraduate and graduate students and is involved in different collaborative projects with other members of the Department. We are seeking a full-time research specialist to join our highly collaborative and motivated research team. This Research Specialist will be a lab member that functions as research support (staff) for all members of the lab as well as conducting their own independent research projects and helping the PI with logistics of running the lab. Our goal is to understand the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms mediating brain cell abnormalities in Down Syndrome and its comorbidity with Alzheimer's disease using iPS-derived models. This is a wet laboratory involving cell culture work, experiments with cortical organoids, CRISPR-CAS9, live-cell imaging, molecular biology, confocal imaging and data analysis. To liberate time for working on publications and grant proposals, mentoring students, and teaching, the PI needs substantial technical help for day-to-day operations in the lab. Research Specialist will be reporting directly to the PI.

Organization

The Difference Is Our DNA

What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.

A Community Unlike Any Other

As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.

Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.

Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.

Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.

World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.

A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.

The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
