Thanks, Julie Brill RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIST Description of position: Working with an investigator in a laboratory in the Developmental Biology program, you will carry out experiments addressing cytoskeletal-membrane interactions crucial for completing cell division. You will use your knowledge of the following techniques to study the role of a lipid kinase in Drosophila germ cell cytokinesis: - Molecular biology (PCR, cloning, Northern and Southern blots) - Protein biochemistry (Western blots, immunoprecipitation, affinity chromatography, kinase assays) - Drosophila molecular genetics (crosses, production of transgenic flies) - Tissue culture (transfection of Drosophila cells) - Cytology (phase microscopy, immunofluorescence) - Yeast molecular biology (two-hybrid analysis) Your duties will include: maintaining the lab in smooth running order, turning fly stocks, ordering fly food and other supplies, and providing initial training for new members of the laboratory. The ability to maintain an independent research project would be a definite asset. Qualifications: You are a highly motivated person interested in learning new techniques. You are well organized and possess excellent interpersonal skills. You are able to work independently as well as in a team. Ideally, your training will include a completed B.Sc. or M.Sc. (preferred) in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics or a related discipline, combined with a minimum of one year experience in a similar setting. Hours: 35 hours per week (full time) Salary: Commensurate with experience Deadline: July 12, 2002 Contact: Julie Brill, Scientist, The Hospital for Sick Children Email: julie.brill@sickkids.ca; Phone: 416-813-8863 ______________________ Julie A.
