Our lab aims to uncover the genetic and neural mechanisms underlying complex social behaviors such as aggression, mating, and parental care. We specialize in developing and applying genetic tools, including CRISPR/Cas9 and Tol2 transgenics, in two fish models: the African cichlid (Astatotilapia burtoni) and the mangrove rivulus killifish (Kryptolebias marmoratus).Currently, we are focused on generating mutants to explore the roles of candidate genes in olfactory sensation and social behavior. We are seeking a Research Assistant to help manage the generation of CRISPR mutants. Key responsibilities include performing CRISPR injections in fish embryos, and assisting with the rearing and breeding of new cichlid and killifish lines. The Research Assistant will also carry out molecular
