The Kruglyak Lab at the University of California works toward understanding how changes at the level of DNA are shaped by molecular and evolutionary forces and how these changes lead to the observable differences among individuals in a species. There is an exciting opportunity for a RESEARCH TECHNICIAN to join the team in the lab, supporting ongoing projects in yeast genetics and C. elegans genetics. This role will perform research using genetics, genomics, and molecular biology techniques. This position will require a driven, creative individual who is willing to tackle novel challenges and continually work towards process improvement. Ideal candidates will be incredibly organized and have a strong desire to support the research of the lab.
