Research Associate II

Description:

Why join the Huentelman Lab?

Our team studies the genetic basis of neurological disease. We have projects that focus on children and adults with rare diseases, heritable and non-heritable influencers of childhood developmental trajectories, normal brain aging using a large internet-based cohort, Alzheimer’s disease, and related dementias, and brain-related complications resulting from long COVID. We make use of various types of genomics-based approaches including arrays, sequencing, single-cell analyses, and spatial-based molecular profiling. We publish frequently, we submit lots of grant applications, we go to scientific conferences together, we try to make a daily difference in our patient’s lives… in short, there is ample opportunity to learn and train in our lab environment. We are milestone-driven. Every team member has an equal voice in experimental design and interpretation of results. We try our best to function as a family and even though our work is challenging we manage to have a fun time doing it.

Why join TGen?

TGen is a non-profit research institute located in Phoenix, Arizona. We are focused on translational science – and have been since our formation in 2002. Our immediate goal is to make a difference in the lives of patients suffering from disease. We are moderately sized (~300 employees), nimble, and house the latest technologies in genomics. Do you dream of your work benefiting patients sooner rather than later? We have a 20-year track record in doing exactly that. Our Neurogenomics Division houses ~40 scientists across five different federally-funded laboratories. It is the perfect sized place for you to start and grow your career and receive expert mentorship from a diverse, successful group of investigators.
