Join a dynamic research environment working at the leading edge of drug metabolism. The
Estrada lab in the
Department of Biochemistry is interested in hiring a
research support specialist who will have the opportunity to lead their own independent project, earn first authorship on published research articles, and present their original research at conferences. Our lab uses a variety of biophysical and biochemical techniques to investigate the structure and function of cytochrome P450 enzymes. As a lab member, you will receive one-on-one training in these and other necessary techniques.
This position includes the following key duties:
- Growth of bacteria and purification of proteins of interest.
- Protein quantification and characterization.
- Data analysis and interpretation of data.
- Communication of research findings in laboratory notebooks, written reports, and in oral presentations.
- Maintenance of common laboratory stocks and reagents.
A typical day in the lab may include an individual meeting with Dr. Estrada, followed by research in the laboratory, a flexible lunch, and maintenance of a laboratory notebook. You will also be able to experience the dynamic work environment at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences which is housed in a state-of-the-art building in downtown Buffalo, NY. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds. The Estrada lab believes that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential for achieving the lab’s research goals.
