Job Description
Position Summary
The Ideraabdullah lab in the UNC Genetics Department is seeking a Research Technician with expertise in either molecular biology molecular genetics or molecular epigenetics; basicadvanced data graphing & statistical analyses skills; animal husbandry/handling; and an interest in studying mouse models of epigenetic mechanisms. The Ideraabdullah laboratory studies the developmental origins of disease. We use mouse models and human studies to understand how early exposure to nutrients toxicants and genetic variation influence offspring susceptibility to disease later in life. The successful candidate will serve as a research technician performing research with postdoctoral fellows graduate students postbaccs and undergraduate students in the lderaabdullah lab; as well as collaborators from other labs. They will also have lab manager duties which include but are not limited to: coordinating schedules and equipment for lab meetings ordering and maintenance of common lab area reagents waste materials protocols and equipment. He/she will also be responsible for training individuals in established protocols that are within their area of expertise and will contribute to maintenance of a safe and efficient laboratory environment. They will participate in research studies that will include methods in basic bioinformatics analyses using mouse and human genome databases and established pipelines molecular genetic assays and analyses such as PCR genotyping cloning using bacterial and viral vectors mutagenesis DNA and RNA isolation and assessment of RNA and protein levels mammalian cell culture tissue processing sequencing library preparation chromatin analysis and basic statistical analyses.
Required Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Previous laboratory experience. Practical experience with working in a team to complete research projects. The selected candidate must be capable of safely and properly operating basic laboratory equipment. He or she must be able to maintain laboratory resources including supplies chemicals equipment and facilities. Also this candidate must be able to communicate clearly and effectively with others in the laboratory for the purpose of safety training supervision and dissemination of findings.
Preferred Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Degree: Course work in Biology Genetics Biochemistry Molecular Biology Nutritional Biochemistry or a related field Other preferences include: Proficiency with basic molecular biology / molecular genetics / biochemistry techniques (such as DNA / RNA extraction PCR RT PCR immunofluorescence ELISA and Western blots) is also required. Previous experience with laboratory management including ordering and budget tracking equipment upkeep and supervision of lab personnel is desirable. The ability to understand how to safely use hazardous reagents/materials centrifuges spectrophotometers/luminometers pH meters air tanks and fluorescent microscopes is preferred but not required.
Work Schedule
Monday Friday 8:30AM 5:00PM
