Laboratory Assistant I - Neurology

This laboratory operates within the Department of
Neurology in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The lab's focus is on
the molecular and cellular mechanisms of alpha-synuclein, and tau related
neurodegenerative diseases including but not limited to Parkinson's disease,
Alzheimer's disease and multiple system atrophy. The lab develops cutting edge
disease models and applies powerful genetic, multi-omics and high through-put
screen methods to investigate a wide range of topics related to the development
and progression of this group of diseases. We are particularly interested in
the transmission and conformational diversity of pathological proteins in the
central nervous system and the role of neuron-glial interactions in this process.

The Laboratory Assistant will assist with management of the lab related to
neurodegenerative diseases. Management of the lab involves reagents and
equipment, and other paperwork related with the daily operations of the lab.
Training will be an ongoing feature of this role. This role necessitates
familiarity with hospital and laboratory settings, mandatory participation in
lab meetings, and regular reporting to the direct supervisor. This role
requires a mature and highly organized individual with strong communication
skills, experiment skills, and a willingness to learn.
