Research Technician - Sauka-Spengler Lab

Join the Sauka-Spengler lab, which studies the gene regulatory circuitry underlying developmental processes in zebrafish, chicken, killifish and ascidians using molecular embryology and single-cell genomics. The technician will mainly apply epigenomic and transcriptional single-cell assays to gene regulatory circuitry in specific cell types, such as pigment cells, and at defined stages such as the onset of neurulation in zebrafish embryos. The work combines embryological techniques, molecular cloning, single-cell genomics, multiplexed fluorescent in situ hybridization, transgenic line generation, gene perturbations and high-resolution imaging.

Duties include assisting scientists with experiments, tracking data, maintaining equipment and reagents, lab meetings and, with experience, independent projects. Applications (resume and cover letter) go to careers@stowers.org.

B.S. or B.A. in an appropriate scientific field such as molecular biology or biochemistry, with general molecular biology laboratory experience. Strong analytical, organisational and computer skills, motivation to learn new techniques, independence, and excellent written and verbal communication.
