RESEARCH TECHNICIAN POSITION: PLANT EVOLUTIONARY/ECOLOGICAL GENETICS, UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
A one-year, full-time technician position is available beginning June, 2012 in the Baucom lab in the Dept of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati. General research in the laboratory addresses plant adaptation to environmental stresses. Duties will include working at the University’s main campus in Cincinnati, OH and a nearby field research site. The technician's immediate responsibilities will be to carry out large field and greenhouse experiments, thus, the willingness and ability to work outside in the summer heat is a necessity. The technician will also be required to perform molecular genetics studies as well as general lab maintenance--previous experience with basic molecular techniques such as DNA isolation, PCR and cloning is desired. The candidate should have a BA or BS in biology, genetics, horticulture or plant sciences, previous experience performing independent research, the ability to work well in a group environment, and the willingness to supervise undergraduates. The position is ideal for a highly motivated person interested in gaining field and laboratory skills prior to starting graduate school. While I cannot accept official applications until this position is created at the University level, if this would be a position in which you might be interested, please email a CV, a cover letter of qualifications and interests, and the names and contact information of three references to regina.bau...@uc.edu. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at the above email. Review of applications will begin March 20, 2012 and continue until a suitable candidate is found. Salary is commensurate with experience and includes benefits. -- Regina S.
