Required: BA/BS or a combination of related education and work experience to equal four years. Preferred Experience in genetics, molecular biology, or cell culture would be advantageous. The Researcher 1 will work on an NIH-funded project to study the relationship between lipid metabolism and aging, with a link to the cell cycle and liver function. Duties will include worm strain maintenance, CRISPR Cas9 genome editing, genetic crosses, lifespan analysis and various techniques to assess lipid composition including fluorescence microscopy. Principal Duties and Responsibilities: 40% Strain maintenance & life history analysis Maintain C. elegans strains, perform genetic crosses and characterize life history traits including lifespan 30% Brightfield & fluorescence microscopy Use brightfield and fluorescence microscopy to characterize gene expression and protein localization, as well as lipid staining in transgenic strains. 10% Biochemical analysis of...

Required: BA/BS or a combination of related education and work experience to equal four years. Preferred: Experience in genetics, molecular biology, computational biology and or coding would be advantageous. The Researcher 1 will work with other lab members to characterize the effects of various genetic manipulations and chemical interventions on worm lifespan and heat stress resistance. In addition, the successful candidate will assist in optimization and validation of the machine-learning assay in other worm phenotypes. Principal Duties and Responsibilities: 50% Strain maintenance & life history analysis Maintain C. elegans strains, perform genetic crosses and characterize life history traits including but not limited to stress resistance and lifespan 20% Routine implementation and development of machine-learning based assays Carry out compound screens for effects on heat stress resistance.
