Job Description

Summary

The Ira lab is seeking a Research Technician II to oversee general lab ordering, organization, and perform experiments related to the lab's exploration of DNA recombination processes. This position has been vacant since the departure of our previous research technician and a replacement is needed as soon as possible to complete the aims of the grant.
The research goal of the lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms of homologous recombination and the role different proteins play during recombination. More specifically they are focusing on the function of DNA helicases and newly identified in genetic screen proteins in DNA repair. The main experimental model is recombination induced by a single double-strand-break. This assay allows us to follow the kinetics of all steps in recombination at the level of DNA strand exchange and protein-DNA interaction. The results from the projects will constitute the foundation for studying DNA recombination in human cells and will provide insight into molecular basis of genetic instability observed in cancer. This is a part-time position. Work schedule will be flexible, work hours between Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, 16 hours/week. 

Job Duties

  • Orders and maintains an inventory of lab supplies.
  • Maintains a clean and organized workspace.
  • Documents results of experiments.
  • Performs other job-related duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in a Basic Science or related field. Four years of related experience may substitute for degree requirement.
  • No experience required.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in molecular genetics, molecular biology, and deep sequencing is preferred. 
  • Experience in handling yeast cells, constructing mutant strains, and using CRISPR/Cas9 methods to induce point mutations will be desired.
  • Familiarity with laboratory safety protocols and experience with sterilization techniques are essential for maintaining a safe working environment. 
  • Strong organizational skills and a keen attention to details, as accuracy in preparation is critical for successful lab outcomes and for effective collaboration with research teams.
