  Job Description
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The Walter Laboratory (https://walter.hms.harvard.edu/) at Harvard Medical School and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston is seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant to study genome maintenance and how defects in this process cause cancer and other human diseases. The laboratory uses a powerful biochemical system derived from frog eggs as a model to study mechanisms of DNA replication and DNA repair. We use molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and single-molecule imaging approaches. The Walter lab is a welcoming community where all members actively work together to understand how cells maintain their genomes in health and disease.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Under supervision from a post-doctoral fellow or graduate student, the Research Assistant will pursue a project involving a wide range of techniques, including setting up in-vitro biochemical reactions using frog egg extracts, electrophoresis, microscopy, Western blotting, and molecular cloning. In conducting their research, technicians will design, carry out, interpret, record, and present experiments.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Our technicians are encouraged to take intellectual ownership of their projects. They present at lab meetings and journal clubs, contribute to manuscripts, and sometimes attend scientific conferences. ~70% of time will be dedicated to research, with the remaining time spent on activities that support the entire laboratory (see below). Working in the Walter laboratory is excellent preparation for graduate and medical school. Former technicians from the laboratory have been accepted to top Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., and M.D. programs.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Harvard Medical School and the surrounding hospitals bring together world-renowned scientists and clinicians in a community dedicated to understanding the marvels of human biology and conquering disease. With regular symposia, daily seminars, and several large graduate programs, Harvard Medical School allows young trainees to realize their career goals and reach their full potential as scientists.

 <br/>
 General Summary
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The goal of Suneet Agarwal&rsquo;s team at BCH is to understand and treat fatal genetic blood disorders. We study these diseases by &ldquo;turning back the clock&rdquo; &ndash; using new technology in stem cell biology to take cells from our patients and return them to an embryonic-like state, wherein they regain the ability to form any type of cell in the body. The knowledge gained through our work is providing new insights into disease mechanisms and innovative treatment strategies for our patients, including novel small molecules, RNA therapeutics, and genome-editing approaches. The genetic blood diseases we study are the tip of the iceberg for several other telomere biology diseases and mitochondrial disorders of children and adults, and therefore we expect our work to provide answers for a broader number of people with fatal diseases.

Summary</b><p>
The successful candidate will join the Translational Neuroimmune Psychiatry Program, a new research enterprise in the department of psychiatry led by Dr Baum, its inaugural director. The lab seeks to discover novel, clinically useful biomarkers through interrogation of immune molecules using high-throughput biochemical and histochemical techniques. For example, the lab is using novel methods to discover new auto-antibody syndromes that present with psychiatric symptoms that phenocopy idiopathic bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders. The lab is also interested in uncovering why some people with autoimmune disorders like lupus or infectious encephalitis have psychiatric symptoms and some do not, and why some people develop rare immune-mediated adverse events to useful medications in psychiatry. Under the direction of the PI, the research assistant provides assistance with work related to laboratory research (including both experimental and analysis). Most of this work is &ldquo;dry lab&rdquo; including analysis of medium-sized datasets using R, Python, or similar environments, as well as IRB, lab management, and organizational or administrative tasks. However, tasks may also include some &ldquo;wet lab&rdquo; activities like aliquoting and shipping samples for antibody sequencing, etc. As the research program is in its earliest start-up stages, candidates must be motivated, independent, flexible and with good problem-solving abilities to be able to tackle novel, unanticipated tasks necessary to complete the scientific goals. Should there be interest, there may also be opportunities for more translational research as well, or for qualitative or philosophical work in related Neuroethics topics. Lab website can be found at https://baumlab.bwh.harvard.edu/.</p><p></p><p><br>
In this role, you will have close mentorship from the PI and other senior personnel, including focused weekly mentorship for individual career development, making it a tremendous training opportunity for a motivated, organized, self-starter.</p><p></p><p><br>
