Junior Specialist - Sieving Lab
The Department of Cell Biology and Human Anatomy at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, seeks to hire up to two Junior Specialists in Dr. Paul Sieving's lab. This position involves studying retinal biology and function, and changes caused by disease. Our laboratory focus is on human genetic ocular retinal diseases and animal genetic models of these conditions. Questions involve learning how the pathology causes abnormal retinal development and leads to disease progression, and what therapeutic approaches are possible. We have a human ocular gene therapy trial underway for a condition called X-linked retinoschisis, and the lab studies transgenic mice and rat models of this condition.
Successful candidates are expected to participate in three major categories of activities listed below:
1. RESEARCH (90% EFFORT)
The individual hired for this position will participate in ongoing research on genetic retinal degenerations. We are studying how Mueller glial cell pathology causes failure of the retina very early in disease. The Junior Specialist will work with the PI and with lab members to develop and conduct experiments and analyze results. We use techniques involving histology, molecular biology, in vivo electrophysiology recordings of live rodents, and in vivo non-invasive imaging of the retina to track disease progression. The Junior Specialist is given support and guidance for work assigned and will participate in ongoing projects, with individual responsibility assigned in the lab. The Junior Specialist will contribute to manuscript preparation. This position also involves assisting with general lab research operations and the person hired needs to have ability to work as part of a team.
2. PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE AND ACTIVITY (5% EFFORT)
The candidate has the opportunity to join the Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) and to attend and present data at symposia and conferences. The Junior Specialist will also attend departmental and other seminars, journal clubs and other activities.
3. UNIVERSITY AND PUBLIC SERVICE (5% EFFORT)
Candidate is expected to help mentor undergraduate students in the lab, and to participate in laboratory and group meetings and academic activities.
