Posted 12/20/2024
NIEHS is seeking a staff scientist for Mouse Embryo Phenotyping (MEP) group within CMPB, in DTT, at NIEHS. MEP work is project-driven and supports divisional interdisciplinary investigators to advance its mission of providing broad support and training in mouse embryo phenotyping techniques in support of the NIEHS vision and mission. The scientific goals for MEP are achieved through a distinct and highly cooperative and integrated team science operational model, providing project assistance through the utilization of shared NIEHS Core facilities. A principal role for this position is to assist NIEHS investigators in assigning molecular underpinnings to developmental phenotypes encountered in genetically modified mouse models.
The staff scientist will manage and be the lead contact for all project submissions to the MEP group. The staff scientist partners with a team consisting of a histologist and pathologist with expertise in developmental biology, tissue handling and pathology tailored to embryo phenotyping of genetically engineered mice under study.
Additionally, the MEP staff scientist collaborates across the Institute to stay abreast of novel approaches and best practices for the integration of information technology and other solutions that may serve to scientifically advance projects submitted to the MEP group.
As a NIH Title 42(g) Staff Scientist 1, the employee is generally appointed to a time-limited, renewable position. Staff Scientists do not receive independent resources as a principal investigator, although they will often work independently and have sophisticated skills and knowledge essential to the work of the branch.
The ideal candidate will have a research-based professional degree (Ph.D., M.D., Pharm.D., D.V.M., or equivalent) in the life sciences. The candidate will have experience in developmental biology, the generation of genetically engineered mice and mouse embryo phenotyping.
