Technician
Our Lab is looking for a technician to help develop a new high-throughput imaging technology used to study the molecular genetics of aging in C. elegans. The technician will participate in the construction, calibration, and day-to-day management of a system in which clusters of modified flatbed scanners are combined with image processing software to automate the acquisition of lifespan statistics in populations of worms.
Ideal candidates have usually completed college studies and consider taking some time off to acquire laboratory experience before plunging back into graduate studies. This job is about creative garage-like engineering in the context of live animal (nematode) experiments. Some software writing exposure would be useful. We are looking for someone willing to learn, with a skill for gadgets and a penchant for problem-solving. No specific prior knowledge is needed, but some background in a branch of science or engineering is desirable. The position is for one year with the possibility of extension, starting immediately.
Please send your resume and a cover letter to fontanalab.sysbio@gmail.com.
