Our research focuses on the genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology of chromosome pairing, recombination, and segregation during meiosis, using the nematode C. elegans. as an experimental organism The research involves a variety of procedures including: PCR amplification, DNA sequencing, isolation and blot analysis of RNA and DNA, preparation of YAC and cosmid DNA, plasmid subcloning, genetic analysis, generation of transgenic nematode strains, cytological analysis, in situ hybridization, immunostaining. The specific research project will depend on skills and experience of the candidate hired. Duties also include responsibility for overseeing frozen strain collection, and general laboratory organization. Requires B.S./B.A. degree in applicable science field, with a strong academic record. One year prior experience in either molecular biology or C. elegans genetics preferred; microscopy experience a plus. Excellent organizational and record-keeping skills, ability to work independently and troubleshoot. We are seeking an energetic and highly motivated individual who is excited about science.
