On the Research Scientist 3 team at the University of Washington, you'll conduct research on in vivo amyloid dynamics and their impact on prion phenotypes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including protein folding studies and developing/performing molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and genetics techniques. You will manage lab operations by maintaining databases of stocks and reagents, coordinating ordering and equipment maintenance, and ensuring and coordinating laboratory safety and compliance. You will also present research at conferences, write manuscripts for international journals, and train high school, undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers in laboratory techniques.
