"Research Specialist A/ Research Specialist B - CRISPR Immune Systems, Penn Biology"

The Santiago-Frangos lab seeks a motivated and enthusiastic scientist to work in a multidisciplinary team on cutting edge research that determines how bacterial immune systems (e.g. CRISPR) function and that repurposes these mechanistic insights for biotech applications. More information about our science can be found at <https://web.sas.upenn.edu/sanfrango-lab/>.

The Research Specialist will be eager to engage in independent and collaborative research projects in the areas of biochemistry, structural biology, microbiology, and may involve work with yeast and/or mammalian cell culture. The selected candidate will gain knowledge in experimental design, execution and analysis under the guidance of the Principal Investigator.

Responsibilities include: Designing, troubleshooting, and carrying out experiments (e.g., PCR; protein expression & purification; in vitro activity assays; data analysis; maintaining lab records; and more).

Qualifications for Research Specialist A: Bachelor of Science and 0 to 1 year of experience or equivalent.

For Research Specialist B: Bachelor's degree and 1 to 3 years of relevant experience.
