Job Summary/Basic Function:

The Nath laboratory is seeking a highly motivated, self-starter senior level technician with the ability to work with optimal resources and little direct supervision to address important questions in the genetics and genomics of the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus), an autoimmune diseases. Using large-scale genome wise association studies (GWAS), our lab has identified several genes/genetic variants, associated with lupus susceptibility. Now we are trying to understand the specific functional effects of those lupus associated genetic variants, using cell lines, patients-derived primary immune cells or tissues. We will apply various modern techniques for studying features of three-dimensional (3D) genomic organization such as 3C, Hi-C, ChIP-Seq, RNA-seq and genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 based techniques. Successful candidate will be proficient in wide range of analytical methods and use of bioinformatics/genetics software for analyzing and interpreting various types of data. OMRF is an independent, not-for-profit biomedical research institute adjacent to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) campus in Oklahoma City.
