Posted: 28-Oct-23
Location: Buffalo, New York
Salary: Open
Internal Number: 46055
Position Title: Research Technician I, Microbiology and Immunology
Posting Number: R230248
Employer: Research Foundation
Salary Range: $31,001 - $40,000
FTE: 1.00
Position Summary:
This position is immediately available in the lab of Dr. Yolanda Huang (Department of Microbiology & Immunology). The lab's research focuses on discovering new functions encoded among gut anaerobic bacteria and bacteriophages using high-throughput functional genomics. We also study bacteria-phage interactions and how phages alter bacterial physiology and microbial composition dynamics. The overall goal is to advance our understanding of the gut microbiota at the molecular level.
Research projects leverage cutting-edge techniques, including DNA barcoding, short and long-read sequencing technologies, and high-throughput functional genomics. Responsibilities will include supporting daily lab functions and research needs by purchasing reagent supplies, ensuring lab safety, maintaining instruments, and updating inventory.
The ideal candidate will also participate in the design and execution of wet lab experiments and/or computational analyses and is expected to contribute to publications. This may include bacterial genetics, molecular cloning, bacteria, and phage cultivations (aerobic and anaerobic), protein purifications, bioinformatics, and various -omic techniques. The lab is committed to the success of all members and provides close mentorship and opportunities for research and career development.
