Research technician – functional approaches in annelid regeneration – Univ. of Maryland

Posted by , on 14 August 2019

Closing Date: 15 March 2021

Research technician position available for a project focused on functional technique development in annelid worms, with a conceptual focus on evo-devo and regeneration biology. This position is part of an NSF-funded project focused on developing approaches to test gene function in post-embryonic (juvenile and adult) stages of several annelid species. The project is a collaboration between Alexa Bely (U Maryland), Duygu Ozpolat (Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole), and Elaine Seaver (U Florida, Whitney Marine Lab) and there are substantial interactions among the three lab groups.

 

​This position is in the lab of Alexa Bely, with primary focus on the annelid Pristina leidyi. Position is for 1 year, with possibility of renewal for a second year, and with a start in Fall 2019.

 

Required qualifications: bachelor’s degree in biological sciences or related field, at least 1 year research experience in molecular or developmental biology, good fine-motor skills, ability to troubleshoot and persevere, effective time management and organizational skills, and team-oriented outlook. Preferred but not required: experience with microinjection, electroporation, and approaches to disrupt gene function.

 

Through this position, the successful candidate will gain valuable experience in the development of novel methods, will gain experience in both molecular and organismal research, and will be part of a highly interactive and supportive team.

 

More information about this project and this position is available at: https://wormsontheedge.weebly.com

 

To apply: send a cover letter, CV, and name and contact information for three references to Alexa Bely at abely@umd.edu.
