About the Opportunity
JOB SUMMARY
Led by Dr. Lital Davidi, the Davidi Lab at Northeastern University is part of the Departments of Biology and Bioengineering and is affiliated with the Institute for the Plant-Human Interface (IPHI). Our mission is to translate fundamental discoveries in extremophile biology into sustainable solutions for agriculture and marine ecosystems.
The Davidi Lab is seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Laboratory Technician to support cutting-edge research on stress adaptation in extremophilic microalgae. The Davidi lab investigates molecular and cellular mechanisms evolved by extremophile Dunaliella species, using a multidisciplinary approach that integrates genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, molecular biology, and synthetic biology. The Laboratory Technician will work alongside the Principal Investigator and other members of the lab, in the execution of research projects. Execution of an independent project is also possible depending on the individual's interest and demonstrated abilities. This position will involve minimal lab management duties.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Conduct experimentation necessary to meet the goals of the
projects
- Assist in experimental design and troubleshooting
- Maintain laboratory in a clean and safe manner
- Maintain well documented laboratory records
- Perform basic lab maintenance tasks such as ordering laboratory
reagents and small equipment, preparing media solutions, using
sterile technique, and keeping detailed lab records
