My name is Nathan Wells and I am seeking a full-time paid position as a Research Technician, Assistant or Intern at a university or environmental science organization from August 2012 to at least August 2013. I have earned my BS in Human Biology from Indiana University, have over two years of lab experience between working as a technician with Dr. Thom Kaufman, Dr. Keith Clay and Dr. Heather Reynolds and three semesters as an undergraduate researcher in a bacterial genomics lab. My skills include but are not limited to vegetative plant identification, small mammal and salamander trapping and handling, various tests of soil conditions, comfort with hiking long hours outdoors in adverse conditions, organizing invasive species removal teams, various genomic techniques such as PCR, sequencing, electrophoresis, Western blotting and others. I am comfortable working in both lab and field environments, both supervised and unsupervised and possess a natural proclivity for multi-tasking and a very strong work ethic, plus an enthusiasm for learning new subject material and skills. My long term goals are to earn a PhD in behavioral ecology, and ultimately, a professorship. Positions involving behavioral ecology, especially those concerning mammals, would be preferable, but all opportunities will be fully considered. A full CV, complete list of skills and reference contact information will be provided upon request.
I can be contacted at [email protected]. Thank you! .
