[Biostudent] Volunteer research experience at VA hospital

[biolprog at uw.edu]

interested in getting research experience???

4-5 volunteers are needed in the research laboratory of Dr. Jose Garcia, MD,
PhD, at the Seattle VA hospital. Positions are available for both clinical
(human) and pre-clinical (animals, benchwork) research projects. A link to
Dr. Garcia's UW page is here for your reference Garcia | Gerontology
<https://geriatrics.uw.edu/people/jose-garcia> & Geriatric Medicine (uw.edu)
We are seeking volunteers that are willing to commit at least 8 hrs/week for
1 year or more.

Clinical research volunteer: The primary duty of this volunteer will be
patient chart review where potential study subjects will be identified based
on study-specific criteria. The work will also involve a moderate amount of
data entry (proficiency in Excel preferred), light clerical work, and some
organizational/support tasks. If interested, please email your resume along
with a brief description of why you are interested in this position to
Lauren.Paulsen at va.gov <mailto:Lauren.Paulsen at va.gov>  

Pre-clinical research volunteer: The primary duties of this volunteer will
be assisting animal dissection and tissue collection (mice), performance of
molecular assays (PCR, western blotting, ELISA, immunohistochemistry) in
tissue samples, animal handling (mice), genotyping, microscopy and
morphological analysis (Image J), and data entry (Excel). Experience with
the above techniques will be preferred but not required. If interested,
please email your resume along with a brief description of why you are
interested in this position to haiml at uw.edu <mailto:haiml at uw.edu>  

There is opportunity for obtaining class credits and also for authorship on
scientific manuscripts for those who are interested in more responsibility
than described above. The position would likely not officially start until
late Fall due to the time required for processing paperwork and obtaining a
clearance badge here at the VA. Please email Lindsey.Anderson5 at va.gov
<mailto:Lindsey.Anderson5 at va.gov>  if you have any questions prior to
submitting your resume to the appropriate contact.

We look forward to hearing from you!
