CHI is a trans-NIH initiative whose mission is to provide a collaborative resource for NIH investigators. Created in 2009, CHI is focused on combining scientific expertise, advanced technologies and tailored informatics, to better understand human immune function and pathophysiology. Systems-scale approaches are developed and used for deep profiling of immune states during disease progression or clinical interventions, such as vaccination and cancer immunotherapy with an ultimate goal to provide novel immunological insights and enable key lab discoveries to be rapidly translated into disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Job Duties:</strong></span></p> <ul> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="eee19af23eeead69b2d1a126b09a930d8"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Member of high-performing interdisciplinary research team.</span></p> </li> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="ee26be4dceed60b7767723ec3d95f6d9c"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Process cell suspensions for single-cell analysis using 10x Genomics instruments.</span></p> </li> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="ef17dd84a93edd70982e19e23ccce8dcb"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Perform bulk RNA-Seq, scRNA-Seq, CITE-Seq, ATAC-Seq, and other immune profiling single-cell assays.</span></p> </li> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="ec7c47c589216cced456cfb66bf3aa744"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Prepare and QC RNA and DNA samples for sequencing.</span></p> </li> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="ebde895c51e36fc53077f75dc1b7e7077"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Perform routine maintenance, operation and troubleshooting of 10x Genomics, Illumina, and high-throughput robotic automation instrumentation.</span></p> </li> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="ec288d786faafcfed921868426bcb1a3f"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Perform spatial transcriptomics using 10x Visium or similar technologies.</span></p> </li> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="e1d09b129092412b4a662a9e9e37116c3"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Sample processing and Biobanking.</span></p> </li> <li class="ck-list-marker-font-size ck-list-marker-font-family" data-list-item-id="ea9346cbebb3755c4338d4170501ddc7d"> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Keep detailed records of experimental procedures.</span></p> </li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;…
