Job Description:
Overview
The faculty in Molecular Biology and Microbiology (MBM) are united
by a common interest in the biology of microbes (bacteria, fungi,
viruses, and parasites) and the effects of microbes on human and
animal hosts. The microbial pathogens program studies
microorganisms that cause infectious diseases, with emphasis on
rigorous analysis of these pathogens and the immune responses that
restrict them. Program investigators direct detailed studies of
pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and eukaryotic parasites.
Research topics include structural analysis of virus entry, viral
evolution, viral oncogenes, intracellular bacterial pathogens,
microorganisms that cause diarrhea and pneumonia, intracellular
signaling, pathogen adhesion, genetic determinants involved in
susceptibility to infection, vaccine development, and
identification of novel antimicrobial agents.
What You'll Do
Under close supervision of the principal investigator, other lab
members, and senior scientists in neighboring labs who are
intimately familiar with the techniques required, the Research
Technician may conduct a variety of experiments using a variety of
skills, which may include culturing bacterial and mammalian cells,
performing fixed-cell and live-cell microscopy, making mesoscale
and high-throughput measurements, and using microfluidic devices,
quantitative image analysis, MATLAB, R, and python programming, and
machine learning. In these capacities, the Research Technician will
also record test results and analyze data using statistics. Our
data-driven modeling requires use and development of custom code.
Therefore, the strongest candidates will have computer programming
and quantitative analysis skills.
What We're Looking For
Basic Requirements:
Pay Range
Minimum $19.80, Midpoint $23.55, Maximum $27.30
Salary is based on related experience, expertise, and internal
equity; generally, new hires can expect pay between the minimum and
midpoint of the range.
