Bauer Lab is seeking a highly motivated and organized individual to join their efforts to investigate the molecular basis of blood cell development and to study novel genetic treatment approaches for blood disorders. Their approach combines functional genetics and molecular biology in cellular and animal models of hematopoiesis. They are particularly focused on applying genome editing technologies to develop novel treatments for blood disorders. The selected candidate will work on experimental research projects and also spend effort on lab management duties. A highly motivated and productive technician may get the opportunity to lead an independent research project within the lab.
A bachelor’s degree is required, preferably with formal study in molecular and cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, gene therapy, hematopoiesis, systems biology, structural/chemical biology, and/or bioinformatics/computational biology. The candidate must be a responsible individual with strong communication, organizational and interpersonal skills. Previous experience in scientific research would be an asset. Experience with hematopoiesis research is not required, but enthusiasm for learning modern molecular genetic techniques is essential.
40 hour/week full-time position with flexible hours and competitive salary/fringe benefits. Anticipated start date is summer 2018. A 2-year minimum commitment is strongly preferred.
