We have an immediate opening for a Research Bioengineer to work with a multidisciplinary team developing biosensors using novel DNA microarrays. Will be responsible for performing molecular biology experiments using bacteria, yeasts, viruses and fungi. Experience with cell separation, cellular sub component extraction (proteins, mRNA, and DNA), purification of cellular products, and PCR amplification required. Will apply laboratory experience to the development of fieldable sensor systems that are capable of real-time end-to-end processing and detection. Will also work with laboratory managers developing new sensor systems concepts for a variety of DoD applications. Should be proficient in various biosensor technologies.
Requirements:
--BS/MS in Molecular Biology or Bioengineering with six years of hands-on molecular biology experience using a broad range of laboratory techniques.
--Must have a current Top Secret or Q security clearance, or have had an active TS or Q clearance within the last 24 months.
--Proficient in using molecular biology analytical equipment and military biosensor systems.
--Proficient with computers.
A post-offer, pre-laboratory physical examination will be required.
Article One Partners (www.articleonepartners.com) lists requests for articles, patents, research papers, product literature or any written information from anywhere in the world that describes particular technologies as of a historic date. Article One’s research projects are called Patent Studies.
There are over 20 studies listed for some of the most important technologies worldwide, such as pharmaceuticals (Lunesta, Levitra, Geodon etc.), telephone apparati (Speech Processing by RIMM), software (Twitter.com), wireless technology, and Blu-ray disc drives on the Playstation 3.
Article One Partners needs you to find documented information-- prior art. By searching for prior art, you gain the invaluable experience of researching scientific documents, earn profit-sharing points, and may earn up to $50,000 per study. More than twenty studies are currently offered for over $1,000,000 in compensation rewards. Rewards are distributed when Article One determines that the public written information you submit can show a patent to be invalid.
Begin work immediately, register at www.articleonepartners.com, browse the Studies (check your eligibility), and apply your knowledge, research and network to find Prior Art. Article One will review your submissions and tell you if you have earned the cash rewards. Your active participation in Article One will earn profit sharing points. (The profit-sharing plan is described in detail on our website.)
By joining and participating in the community, you earn profit-sharing points. To learn more, come visit us at articleonepartners.com and register for free as an advisor. Also, Article One Partners will soon be adding new studies soon, so by registering now, advisors can get a head start on submitting new prior art.
Article One Partners is a web-based patent research company that searches for prior art. Prior art refers to the entire body of publicly available information that can potentially invalidate a patent by showing that its ideas were known by the date of invention of the patent. Invalidating prior art shows that an invention described in the claims of a patent existed before a date of invention. Prior art can also be used to establish the strength of a patent.
The Studies list patents with a description of the technology and the historic date. Patents are granted because the U.S. Patent Office concludes that the description of the technology in the patent is the first in the world. But the Patent Office is limited in being able to research worldwide public information. Article One offers a citizen’s review to check whether the patent description is the first. If you show an earlier description, you can earn $50k and high profile press as a state of the art researcher for recognition in industry and career building.
The public written information is called Prior Art. The historic date by which the Prior Art must be dated is called “Latest Date for Prior Art.” Each Study links to a patent or patents, and provides a written description of the technology and the latest date for Prior Art.
- Reduce the monopoly pricing you pay for products covered by patents which should not have been granted, help to reform U.S. patent law – and get compensated for your efforts and the value of your knowledge!
