About this position
The Saito laboratory at the University of Southern California is recruiting a Research Associate to contribute to studies of innate immunity against human pathogenic viruses and bacteria in the setting of liver diseases.
The project sits at the intersection of cell biology, virology, genetics, molecular biology, and systems biology, with an emphasis on pathogen-host interactions, inflammation, and immune responses linked to liver disease. The successful researcher will help identify research questions, design experiments, generate and analyze data, and interpret results under the guidance of the principal investigator.
This is a hands-on laboratory role with responsibility for developing and leading technical research projects. Work in the lab includes molecular and biochemical analysis, nucleic acid-based methods, in vitro and in vivo mouse experiments, and microscopy-based assessment of immune and tissue responses. The role also contributes to laboratory quality control, protocol maintenance, safety practices, and animal protocols.
The position is based in the Saito laboratory, and the advert points applicants to the lab website for additional context on the research program.

What's required
Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate is required, with at least 1 year of directly related research experience. The candidate should have advanced knowledge of research equipment, procedures, and analysis methods, and significant experience in molecular biology, in vitro and in vivo mouse experiments, biochemistry, protein assays (Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, gel analysis), nucleic acid methods (cloning, PCR, RT-qPCR, RNA synthesis, transfection, extraction, gene overexpression/silencing), and microscopic analysis (immunofluorescent staining, immunohistochemistry, light microscopy, image analysis and processing). The applicant should be hardworking, creative, highly self-motivated, and fluent with laboratory equipment and computer/research/office software.
How to apply
