New York University Abu Dhabi Jobs 2022 – Apply Online Junior Research Scientist in the Division of Science, Biology Job Vacancy Abu Dhabi, UAE

The laboratory of David A. Scicchitano in the Division of Science at New York University in New York seeks to recruit a junior research scientist to work on the mechanisms underlying genome maintenance, particularly in response to agents that damage DNA.

DNA damage within the transcription unit of a gene has profound effects on the quality and quantity of transcripts when the region is expressed. The location of DNA damage also influences its repair. This position will examine the effect of DNA damage on transcription and other cellular processes while investigating the cellular pathways that remove it. The current approaches include the use of site-specifically modified DNA to assess the effect of DNA damage on the quality and quantity of RNA produced when the lesion is present in an actively expressed gene. Applicants should be highly motivated. The ideal candidate will have knowledge of some of the following: recombinant DNA, molecular biology, SDS-PAGE, cell culture, and laboratory experience using standard scientific equipment.

A master’s degree in biology is preferred, although a bachelor’s degree in biology with completion of a research project as part of the degree course will be considered.

The terms of employment are competitive. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree, a one-page summary of research interests that focuses on why this position is of interest, and at two letters of recommendation submitted directly to Interfolio, all in PDF format.
