Lab Technician - Dept of Molecular Biology & Genetics - College of Arts & Sciences (CAS)Technician II
Cornell University job in Ithaca, NY or remote
The Lab Technician will assist in both the Aravin Lab, and the Fejes Tóth Lab. The Aravin Lab researches genomic parasites called transposons. If unchecked, transposons wreak havoc, jumping from place to place in the genome, causing mutations in normal genes. However, cells have a remarkable defensive system that uses non-coding RNAs as guides to identify and represses genome invaders. In animals, a distinct class of non-coding RNAs called pi RNAs suppresses transposons in germline cells, ensuring fertility and the faithful transmission of genetic material through generations. The pi RNA pathway works through an elegant RNA- and chromatin-based circuit and is amazingly powerful at discriminating transposons from ‘good' genes and at repressing invaders in the nucleus and the cytoplasm using different mechanisms.
The Fejes Tóth Lab is investigating the role of chromatin and RNA in controlling transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulatory processes. We are focusing on gaining mechanistic insights into how small non-coding RNAs induce changes in chromatin and transcription in animals. We are also aiming to identify the role of chromatin on post-transcriptional gene regulatory processes. We use an interdisciplinary approach combining biochemistry, genetics, cell, molecular and computational biology and functional genomics as key tools to tackle these exciting questions.
The Lab Technician provides assistance to both the Aravin Lab, and the Fejes Tóth Lab. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: General lab maintenance, ordering, and organization. Maintaining fruit-fly (Drosophila) strains collection. Assisting the laboratory heads, postdocs and graduate students in conducting research experiments using techniques such as genetic crosses between defined Drosophila strains, maintaining cell cultures, basic molecular biology techniques (DNA and RNA isolation from Drosophila stocks as well as bacterial cell culture, bacterial cell transformation, plasmid DNA preparation), PCR amplification of genomic and plasmid DNA, cloning in bacterial cells (including Gibson Assembly), and light and fluorescent microscopy.
Complete training on lab safety and proper handling of chemicals as required by CALS EHS. Prepare laboratory waster for disposal per protocols. Document laboratory procedures. Assist in evaluating lab methods, procedures and techniques based on written instruction. Assist with inventory and ordering of supplies as directed.
