Research Assistant position available.
A lab technician position is available in the lab of Garth Patterson at
Rutgers University. I study the regulation of dauer formation. For more
information about what I do, see Patterson et al., in Genes and
Development, 1997, 11:2679 and Ogg et al. in Nature, 1997, 389:994, or see
a description of my research plans at
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~rmkrug/Professors/patterson.html.
The position requires a bachelors degree and laboratory experience. The
exact nature of the position will depend on the skills of the person hired,
but I hope to find someone to perform some of the following: C. elegans
strain construction and phenotype analysis, PCR, cloning, RNA preparation
and gene expression analysis, microinjection of worms for transformation,
and gene mapping. Ability to work independently to implement and
troubleshoot techniques and experiments are pluses. Ability to maintain
computers and web pages is a plus. This position will pay a competitive
salary commensurate with skills and experience
Rutgers has a strong and growing group of 4 C. elegans labs. We are
located in Piscataway, NJ, close to NYC, for those of you who value big
city ambiance, but costs are reasonable and living is easy.
