Description:The Emory Vaccine Center within the Emory National Primate Research Center at Emory University is currently seeking a Research Specialist to join our team. Our work is focused on the study of antibiotic resistance which is a growing public health crisis responsible for 1.27 million deaths per year worldwide. Specifically, we study previously unappreciated forms of antibiotic resistance (heteroresistance and others) in which a minor subpopulation of resistant cells co-exists with a majority antibiotic susceptible population. Our work is highly translational as we study how prevalent these phenotypes are among bacteria, genetic mechanisms causing these phenotypes, their clinical relevance in human patients, and how to overcome these resistance phenotypes with novel therapeutic approaches. In addition, we have developed a novel diagnostic technological platform capable of detecting minor subpopulations of resistant bacterial cells which are currently undetected by clinical tests.
The ideal candidate should be dependable and have a positive attitude for research. The Research Specialist will be a team player who is willing to learn on the job and collaborate with lab members and center members. The Research Specialist will work to ensure the highest quality of laboratory research support, and has good communication skills with co-workers, the management team, PIs, research staff, students, and other support services.
