The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has an exciting opportunity for a Research Technician to join the research team in the Barton Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. The Barton lab wants to understand how the immune system recognizes and responds to threats while limiting damage to our own cells and tissues, including the beneficial microbes that live on and within us. The team studies immune recognition in the intestine with the goal of determining how the host discriminates between the beneficial and harmful microbes there.

About the role:
In this role, you will join a team of scientists studying how the immune system interacts with bacterial members of the microbiota. You will be assisting with experiments being performed in the lab by helping with dissections and tissue processing. Other lab work may include molecular biology techniques. In addition, this role will involve maintenance of animals in a gnotobiotic environment, where mice live in an environment devoid of bacteria or colonized with defined bacteria. This will include basic animal care and husbandry as well as performing mouse experiments involving handling of mice. You will be a valued member of the lab and participate in weekly lab meetings along with other group meetings.
