Laboratory Technician Position Available
A full-time position is available in my lab working on an NSF funded
project looking at recruitment and population genetics of the gorgonian
Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae in the Bahamas. The work will be
conducted in Buffalo with biannual field trips. The technician will
conduct microsatellite analyses of gorgonian tissue samples. Tasks will
include DNA extraction, PCR, gel quantification and genotyping using a
LiCor DNA sequencer. The work also will include general laboratory
tasks such as maintaining stock supplies, record keeping and ordering
supplies, and supervising undergraduate work-study students. Applicants
should have a Master's degree or equivalent experience.
Fieldwork will involve research diving from research vessels or small
boats, and the work will include collecting samples, P. elisabethae
population surveys and monitoring recruitment experiments. The
assistant must be able to meet University at Buffalo and AAUS standards
for certification as a research diver and have a minimum of 25 logged
open water dives. (In addition to SCUBA certification applicants
should have current certification in CPR, first aid, oxygen delivery and
be able to pass a medical exam for diving.)
Applicants should have documentation of valid U.S. work authorization.
The Research Foundation of the State University of New York is an AA/EOE
