Biology Technician
About NI:
NeuroInitiative (NI) is a small, fast-growing independent group focused on pathway simulation of biochemical events within neurons. We are very passionate about our mission, which is to empower discoveries that improve human life and are looking for likeminded and ambitious individuals. The current projects focus on pathways involved in Parkinson’s disease, with future direction towards Alzheimer’s pathways. The group is composed of software engineers who design, develop and maintain the pathway simulation software (SEED) and biologists with a strong bench background who understand experimental design, hypothesis testing and the challenges of traditional bench work. The purpose of this software is to enable bench scientists to create in silico models of disease, test therapeutics and perform experiments using the simulation software before they experiment in the laboratory.
Benefits:
- Medical benefits and paid vacations.
- Impact research and drug discovery timelines.
- Authorship on scientific publications.
- Great culture with talented and motivated team.
Responsibilities of this role:
- Review scientific literature and enter relevant information about
cellular biology pathways into our simulation software (no computational
background is necessary but must be familiar with cell biology).
- Perform experiments and extract data using our internal software.
- Work closely with other science team members to interpret results,
and help with grant and manuscript writing.
- Help with general planning and organization.
- Ordering and lab support.
Requirements:
- BS in Biology, Cell/Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related field.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Preferred experience:
- Experience writing scientific manuscripts and grant applications.
- Understanding of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s/Alzheimer’s disease.
- Experience with statistics or data analysis.
- Prior research experience.
