ABRF,

If you like New England weather:
Research Technician Position at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston MA.
Brief Description: working in a DNA sequencing facility supporting 145 research labs. High degree of interaction with researchers, data interpretation so verbal /written skills a must.
Education required- A minimum of a BS/BA degree with a science major, preferably in the Biological Sciences such as genetics, molecular biology or biochemistry.
Experience: none required if highly motivated and willing to learn.
Email attached resume to:
paul_morrison@dfci.harvard.edu
christine_bogle@dfci.harvard.edu

If you don't like New England weather then how about San Diego? Opening at USD is listed below. (But it's been awful nice in Boston lately...)

Research Technician Position at the Ludwig Institute, San Diego Branch

Brief description- Working in a genetics laboratory developing and implementing high throughput genetics methods and interfacing them with a high throughput DNA sequencing facility.

Duties- The major duties of this position will be to implement high throughput molecular biology and genetics methods on robotic workstations. These include dye primer and dye terminator sequencing protocols, PCR product generation of sequencing based mutation detection and microarray projects and fluorescent primer based genotyping. The types of projects will include DNA sequencing, large-scale sequencing, genotyping for positional cloning and clinical/population genetics projects and yeast genetics projects. Responsibilities will also include management of projects including high throughput projects, development and optimization of primers and organization, analysis and reporting of data.

Education and experience required- A minimum of a BS/BA degree with a science major, preferably in the Biological Sciences such as genetics, molecular biology or biochemistry. Up to two to three years of experience operating ABI sequencers and knowledge of dye primer and dye terminator chemistry and use of Robotic workstations such as Tecan robots would receive preference. Interest in robotic workstations and other types of complex laboratory instrumentation is a positive attribute. Working knowledge of Macintosh computers including use of database, spreadsheet, statistics, DNA/protein sequence analysis, and genome database search and analysis programs is required. Experience with other types of computer systems will be helpful.
