The research assistant's job is an entry level position, working on the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori at the Beth Israel Medical Center in Boston. The work would involve cell culture, microbiology, protein analysis, molecular biology and possibly animal work. It would be preferable that the applicant have some previous experience working in a lab, be organised and detail oriented, and have a positive attitude. I am ready to hire someone immediately, and have funding until the end of July 2011. Anyone interested should contact Dr. Sarah Keates at email skeates@bidmc.harvard.edu.
