Research Technician:

The Center for Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB) is currently seeking applications for a Research Technician to join the CCSB Human Interactome Project. The major duties are to work with Group Leaders and Staff Scientists to carry out high throughput yeast two-hybrid screening, recombinational cloning and microbial transformations as part of a large-scale protein interaction mapping project for both humans and model organisms. Responsibilities will involve all steps of protein interaction mapping using yeast two hybrid systems, including preparation of media, perform screening assays, maintaining strains and microbial stocks, along with other lab duties such as providing help to other ongoing projects in the lab, supplies ordering, managing resources and maintaining liquid handling systems. The hours of this position will vary to meet deadlines in order to complete experiments and achieve project goals in a timely fashion.

Requirements:
BS degree, or equivalent, with at least 1 to 2 years previous laboratory experience required. Must have hands on experience with preparation of microbial media, agarose gel electrophoresis, PCR, molecular biology, and microbiology. Experience with either mammalian cell culture and transfection, with robotic liquid handling systems, and/or with yeast two-hybrid assays is highly desirable.
