comprehensive benefits package, paid leave, and a variety of health, life and retirement plans and additional programs that support a healthy work/life balance.
THIS IS A TIME-LIMITED POSITION WITH AN ESTIMATED DURATION OF 2 YEARS.
The mission of the Genetics department is to provide basic and applied genetic/genomic research, education, and training at the interface between biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, the social sciences, public health, and medicine to have a profound effect on how medicine will be practiced in the future.
Our graduate programs train students to be creative, sophisticated research scientists prepared to pursue careers focused on genetics and genomics working in academic science, government, or commercial positions. Students conduct their dissertation research using diverse experimental approaches - from classical genetics to the most modern molecular methods - to address a broad range of contemporary problems in biomedical science.
The Department also includes a clinical arm focused on medical genetics, which covers the broad spectrum of clinical genetic research from disease prevention to diagnosis and treatment. This specialty includes evaluation, mutation discovery, counseling and risk assessment through analysis and genetic testing. Locating the clinical group alongside basic scientists facilitates integration of cutting-edge genetic research with patient care.
The primary purpose of this Research Technician position is to study the regulation of aging and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance by single-stranded telomere binding proteins in the nematode C. elegans. The Research Technician will perform genetic modification of C. elegans, genetic crosses, longevity assays and microscopy. The Research Technician will supervise undergraduates who assist with research projects and will interact with other members of the Ahmed research group such as research associates, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students or technicians. The Research Technician will place orders for the lab and help to process laboratory paperwork.
Demonstrated possession of the competencies necessary to perform the work.
Research study experience in genetics or related field
* Experience writing scientific papers
* Experience supervising others in the context of a scientific research project
* Experience with CRISPR modification of the C. elegans genome
* Experience with high resolution microscopy of live animals expressing epitope-tagged proteins
* Experience with analysis of non-coding RNAs, genetics, epigenetics, high resolution fluorescence microscopy, and Cas9-mediated genome modification
The Research Technician needs to be capable of conducting long-term wet lab experiments, needs to be curious about how biology works, needs to enjoy learning and reading literature that might be relevant to their project, needs to be patient, meticulous, and thorough.
Not Applicable.
