A great job opportunity to work with leading immunologists doing multiparameter sorting. We have a FACStar Plus (enhanced) and a new FACS Vantage SE as well as FACScalibur and FACscan. On the job training available from another experienced operator. See below for formal description of the job. Informal inquiries email mark.shlomchik@yale.edu. Dept. Name:Shlomchik/Janeway Cost Center: 019404 CSS Position #: 4581 CSS Req. #: 8514 RESEARCH SPECIALIST Howard Hughes Medical Institute is seeking a Research Specialist I in Flow Cytometry for our site at the Yale University School of Medicine. The purpose of the position is multiparameter flow cytometyric analysis using up to three lasers and four colors, and collection of fluorescently labeled cell populations for investigators in the Section of Immunobiology. Major duties of the position are the operation of and maintenance for two B-D fluorescence-activated cell sorters and maintenance and troubleshooting on two investigator-operated BD analytical flow cytometers. Desired skills include: ability to operate and maintain complex scientific equipment, preferably including fluid-handling and/or optical instruments; and knowledge of computer systems preferably including networking and the Macintosh operating system. The position requires the ability to work for a very diverse set of investigators, learning from those with extensive FACS experience and guiding those with little. The candidate will receive on-the-job training as necessary from the current FACS operator, but must be able to work with minimal supervision. The candidate should monitor new technical developments in the flow cytometry field and will be involved in implementing new techniques and sorting strategies. Most of the work will be the isolation of cell populations for investigators on the sorter. Other responsibilities will include quality assurance checks on the analytical cytometers as well as troubleshooting and fixing minor problems for those machines. Teaching students/postdocs/investigators basics of flow cytometry will also be a part of the duties from time to time. Experience in a laboratory, working with cell populations and with instrumentation, is essential. Prior experience with flow cytometry is desirable. A Bachelor's degree plus 4 years laboratory experience or a Master's degree plus 2 years laboratory experience is required. HHMI offers a competitive salary and excellent benefits package.
