The Mellon College of Science (MCS) Departments of Biological Sciences and Computational Biology are seeking a full-time Research Associate I to work in the laboratory of Dr. Irene Kaplow. The Kaplow Lab is interested in deciphering the roles that differences between species in transcriptional regulatory elements play in vertebrate evolution. We are also passionate about using differences in transcriptional regulation between species to provide insights into gene regulatory mechanisms.
We seek a highly motivated wet lab Research Associate I to assist with lab operations, experiments, and training scientists without much prior wet lab experience. While the wet lab technician’s responsibilities will be almost entirely administrative and experimental, the technician will have the opportunity to work closely with computational biologists.

Therefore, we are in search of a team member who is able to effectively interact with a varied population of internal and external partners at a high level of integrity. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.
