ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform standard designated procedures associated with experiments/projects; interpret and analyze results; multi-task experimentally as necessary, and present data in organized form.
• Review up-to-date scientific literature extracting information relevant to ongoing, proposed, or possible research projects.
• Learn, develop and utilize new techniques that facilitate research goals by consulting literature or other University personnel including faculty, students and research assistants.
• Provide written and oral progress reports to supervisor and research group
• Carry out genetic manipulation in the C. elegans model system including conducting genetic crosses, transgenics requiring microinjections, and CRISPR/Cas9 methods
• Conduct phenotypic analyses of C. elegans at the organismal, cell biological, and molecular levels including the use of quantitative confocal microscopy, DNA recombinant engineering, biochemical methods including western blotting, protein purification, and protein interaction studies.
• Write and organize manuscripts including the generation of professional figures in cooperation with the P.I.
• Once proficient, the successful candidate may be responsible for working with and training other laboratory personnel, as needed

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in a field related to research project. 1 year of research experience working in an academic laboratory designing, carrying out, and interpreting experiments using molecular, genetic, and cell biological approaches.
