A lab technician position is currently open in the Apfeld lab (apfeldlab.strikingly.com)
in the Biology Department at Northeastern University. Our lab seeks to dissect the
interplay between redox processes and age-dependent changes in tissue function in the
nematode C. elegans, in order to shed light on the association between the
dysregulation of the cellular redox environment and many human diseases of aging.
The lab technician will be a full member of the lab, participating in research and in lab
management and organizational tasks. The position will involve helping to set up and
organize our new lab.
The job will include conducting an independent research project and assisting with
ongoing research projects. It will also include maintaining some stocks and solutions,
organizing lab inventories and assisting with ordering and organization of
supplies, keeping excellent records, and presenting at lab meetings and at local
scientific conferences.
Ideal candidates will have completed BS or an MS in Biology, or a related
field and will be seeking additional laboratory experience before plunging back into
graduate or medical school. Applications from more senior research scientists and
laboratory managers are also welcome.
Knowledge of molecular biology techniques, good organizational skills, and ability to
work without extensive supervision are required. Experience with C. elegans, or
another genetic model organism, is highly desirable but not required. At least one year
of lab experience is required. The position is for two or three years, with the
possibility of extension, starting immediately.
