The Janetzko Laboratory is seeking two (2) Research Services Professionals to join our efforts to study mechanisms of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, trafficking and regulation. Are you looking to gain laboratory experience in a new lab environment with lots of opportunities to work closely with the PI? Do you love unpacking lots of boxes filled with fancy things and does the idea of helping to set up a new lab excite you? Do you want to have an opportunity to learn cutting-edge experimental approaches in structural biology and learn how we're applying them to study drug action? If so, this position is for you! As an RSP in the Janetzko lab you will be principally responsible for supporting research efforts in the lab by helping with cell culture, expression and purification of proteins (soluble and membrane proteins) and tasked with keeping our lab stocked and organized. You will work closely with Prof. Janetzko to accomplish these tasks with opportunities to take on dedicated projects and independence in the lab as your skills progress. An ideal candidate will be highly organized and take on a leadership role in keeping the lab operating smoothly. Through your time in the lab, you will have the opportunity to gain skills that will make you an excellent candidate for graduate school, professional school, or for a position in industry. You will be expected to participate in lab activities such as group meetings and journal clubs to support your learning. Overall, you will benefit from an open and collegial work environment, both in the lab and within the department and will receive the mentorship, learning and support needed to achieve your future career goals.

Onsite – This role is expected to work onsite and is located in Aurora, CO.

I will provide you with a safe and inclusive work environment where your perspectives are valued, and a vibrant and dynamic learning environment. I will support your learning and career goals, working with you directly to ensure you are confident in your abilities to carry out your work. You will have opportunities to work on multiple projects and enjoy an intellectually satisfying work environment. Additionally, I will give you the opportunity to take on more roles in the lab as your proficiencies expand. In return, my expectations for you are: you are curious, pay attention, and ask good questions to facilitate your learning. You are genuinely excited to learn new approaches and come to work each day ready to take on the tasks at hand. You are a team player who can work and communicate well with others in the lab. You are highly organized and able to manage multiple tasks in parallel. Once trained, you can execute established protocols, including complex ones. Our department conducts research across a wide biological scale for fundamental scientific understanding with applications to many disease contexts. The overarching goal is to reach a level of molecular insight that helps develop therapeutic approaches to disease. As biochemists and molecular geneticists, we are amid an unprecedented time of discovery - our conception of the molecular biology of cells is going from the equivalent of grainy black-and-white to high-resolution technicolor. From deciphering the choreography of transcription complexes, chromosomes, and RNA molecules within cells to developing novel approaches to 3D molecular structure determination to understanding how viruses hijack a cell's machinery and alter its metabolome, the researchers in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics (BMG) are at the forefronts of their fields both conceptually and technologically.
