Temporary Lab/Research Technician MBG

Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will contribute to a climate that supports students, faculty and staff of all identities and backgrounds. We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply.

As an individual contributor you will model and support a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and wellbeing and continually seek to understand how your role, behaviors, and actions impact the success of this culture.

While position responsibilities vary, every member of our community is expected to foster a culture of belonging and a psychologically healthy work environment by communicating across differences; being cooperative, collaborative, open, and welcoming; showing respect, compassion, and empathy; engaging and supporting others regardless of background or perspective; speaking up when others are being excluded or treated inappropriately; and supporting work/life integration of oneself and others.

The Papadimitriou lab, in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, studies the genetic circuits of brain development. We use molecular and cellular neuroscience approaches to understand neurodevelopment and neurodevelopmental disorders. The Papadimitriou lab seeks a driven and motivated individual to carry out research studying the function of gene regulation during brain development. We seek a collaborative and enthusiastic individual who is willing to learn and work in a team environment. This individual will be expected to participate in research related to mouse genetics, genomics, and analyzing anatomical phenotypes using microscopy. While much of the individual's responsibilities will be research-related, this individual will be tasked with responsibilities for genotyping mice, lab maintenance responsibilities, and will help to keep the lab organized and clean. The individual must also ensure that all laboratory protocols and procedures adhere to safety requirements.

• Genotype mouse DNA
