Some information about the project and requirements :

The project will require developing and validating a method for measuring OS biomarkers in human urine and transferring the method onto their robotics work stations  (Hamilton STAR (1 system) and Caliper Staccato (1 or 2 systems)) in order to improve throughput.  Dr. Seyler is specifically looking for candidate with LC/MS experience and preferably robotics automatic workstation experience (such as Caliper or Hamilton).  The LC/MS-MS (3 systems) will be ABSciex 6500.

Samples will be 10,000 human urine specimens the first year. This is part of the FDA’s PATH study, contracted and run by NIDA.

BS candidate will be mostly routine sample preparation.

MS candidate will be operating either the robotic system or LC/MS. The MS candidate I’m hiring right now will be working on the Hamilton and Caliper.

Ph.D. candidates will help me lead the assay: sample data flow (sample tracking, analysis, reporting), data analysis (including QC and QA, SAS or JMP), improving method (sensitivity, LoD, throughput, etc.), trouble shooting the instrument, etc.

For those  candidates who are interested in the position, please send your questions and CVs, cover letters directly to Tiffany Seyler (tvh2@cdc.gov her other contact info is below). It may be a good idea to put in the subject line put “Oxidative stress (OS) as biomarkers for tobacco exposure Job opportunity” so that your email is not overlooked.

new research club - iGEM - Meeting Sept. 3 at 7:00 PM Klause 2447

Love science? Interested in research? You should think about joining a new club on campus, iGEM. It is a research club focused on an international synthetic biology competition called iGEM, which stands for International Genetically Engineered Machines. It is a yearly competition that usually consists of a regional competition. Upon advancement from the regional competition, there is then an international competition. Each team is given biological parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells. In the past, Georgia Tech has had a very small team, but we want to expand this team and become a club on campus so that more people can participate. Our project this year involves engineering bacteria to convert methane to methanol to decrease methane emissions near fracking activity. You can learn more about the club and our project at our meeting this Wednesday at 7:00 pm in Klaus 2447. There will be free food provided, so come out and enjoy!

Thanks,

Kathryn Fitton

President of iGEM Team at Georgia Tech
