Job Description:The Research Assistant will conduct experiments to examine the cellular processes by which specific genetic variants modify neurodegeneration associated with ALS. The Research Assistant will use genetic, cell biological and molecular techniques to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic suppression of locomotor and neuronal defects apparent in the disease state. This research will make use of Drosophila as a model system.  In addition to carrying out specific experiments that involve genetic crosses, tissue dissections, immunohistochemistry, imaging, molecular techniques and biochemical assays, the research assistant will also perform omic analyses.  The Research Assistant will engage
