Seeking experienced technician
You: A PhD/postdoctoral/post-postdoctoral level scientist who would rather be 100% in the lab than pursue the PI track. You have molecular biology and genetics experience, possibly even Drosophila experience. You enjoy mentoring and are highly organized.
Me: New PI who knows the value of strong support. I can guarantee a competitive salary and benefits for up to 4 years.
Position would begin summer, 2019 (flexible) and include laboratory organization/ordering, student mentoring, independent research and the opportunity to publish. Hours are flexible. Ideally this position would be long-term but depends on funding availability.
Please contact me through the submission form.
