Staff Scientist – Murine Phenotyping Core

 

Staff Scientist – Murine Phenotyping Core

Environment:

The MPC is a full scale, busy, and in demand mouse phenotyping core that provides technical and scientific expertise for the phenotypic characterization of mouse models. We place a strong emphasis on scientific collaboration, technical skill, customization of model specific testing strategies, and innovative growth and development. We collaborate on projects with investigators across NIH on a diversity of mouse models utilizing state of the art equipment and comprehensive testing methodologies to assess multiple physiological and behavioral systems. The core is equipped to handle all aspects of comprehensive, complex, and diverse phenotyping projects in the areas of cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, neuromuscular, behavioral phenotyping and exercise physiology testing while providing scientific consultation and collaboration with NIH research labs. The position offers diverse and exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, development of comprehensive expertise in mouse phenotyping and comparative medicine, the ability to shape and steer ongoing growth of the core, and to conduct independent research.

Position role:

The core seeks motivated candidate to assist in both the technical, and scientific aspects involved in the core’s daily work and collaborations, and to promote continued growth and contributions towards the core’s reputation of excellence and knowledge in the field of phenotyping mouse models that researchers across NIH seek out.

Areas of potential growth:

The successful candidate will have the exciting opportunity to help steer and promote the continued growth of the core as a state-of-the-art mouse phenotyping center, including the continued initiation and application of new techniques and methods, learning new equipment, and facility design/planning as the core continues to expand, etc. 

Current Core Testing methodologies: 

The MPC houses the largest and most diverse repertoire of mouse testing equipment and systems at the NIH and has built up the most robust and comprehensive testing methodologies available anywhere for investigating scientific inquiry involving diverse mouse models.
