The McGrath lab (Biology –
mcgrrathlab.biology.gatech.edu) and Lu lab (Chemical and Biomolecular
Engineering - www.lulab.gatech.edu) are looking to jointly hire a research
technician as soon as possible. We are looking for exceptional applicants with a
few years of research experience. Motivated recent college graduates will also
be considered. The position will be focused on standard lab maintenance tasks
related to C. elegans maintenance. There will be additional time to assist or
focus on a research project of interest.
Primary responsibilities are to make standard C. elegans and microbiology solutions and plates (NGM, S-basal, M9, LB, Superbroth, etc) and maintain C. elegans strains (freezing and thawing).
In addition, there will also be opportunities for research on a number of projects, including joint projects between the two labs. The McGrath lab works on the complex genetics traits, using quantitative genetics and fluorescent-based Ca++ imaging. The Lu lab develops and utilizes high-throughput approaches using microfluidics devices combined with computer vision analysis of microscopy.
