Projects in the Siegal Lab aim to understand the genetic and nongenetic causes of variation in complex traits. Most projects involve a combination of genetics, molecular biology, and high-throughput microscopy and automated image analysis. The lab primarily uses budding yeast as a model organism, but some work involves Drosophila flies or other organisms.

Responsibilities include: 1) maintaining chemical inventory, equipment and biological stocks; 2) ordering supplies as needed; and 3) assisting lab members with various projects.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $18 – $24 per hour. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.
