Research technician job in Kansas City, MO
ResearchTechnician II - Hall Lab
Are you fascinated by the bizarre world of small, wiggly, often regenerative invertebrates?
The Stowers Institute for Medical Research is seeking a ResearchTechnician II to join the Hall Lab.
Our lab is motivated by the simple premise that we shouldn't be limited to studying biology only in established “model” organisms. We are developing a suite of molecular and imaging tools to enable genetic engineering in diverse emerging model organisms, with the goal of understanding how stem cells support regeneration across the tree of life.
Roles & Responsibilities
The selected candidate will work closely with the PI to support the lab's research efforts by:
Developing and refining techniques to maintain and expand an array of emerging model invertebrates (with a strong emphasis on flatworms).
Contributing to molecular cloning that support transgenesis and gene editing strategy development.
Performing experiments to characterize regeneration, life history traits, and phenotype variation across species.
Maintaining thorough documentation (protocols, experimental records, colony/line tracking) and contributing to lab organization and best practices.
The ideal candidate is curious, creative, and resilient in the face of experimental setbacks. They work independently when needed, communicate clearly, and consistently incorporate feedback to improve.
What You'll Be Doing
Animal husbandry to maintain several species of emerging model flatworms and related invertebrates.
Working with the Invertebrate Culture Facility to develop and implement more automated, standardized husbandry workflows.
Characterizing life-cycle traits and regenerative capabilities across diverse flatworm species (including phenotyping with immunohistochemistry and
in situ
hybridization, and performing genetic perturbations with CRISPR and RNAi).
Performing molecular cloning using techniques such as bacterial transformation, minipreps, PCR, gel electrophoresis, restriction digestion, Golden Gate assembly, and Gibson assembly.
What We Offer
Close mentorship and support to help you meet your scientific and professional goals.
The opportunity to work with unusual and exciting emerging model organisms in the field of regenerative biology.
The opportunity to work closely with our fantastic technology centers while gaining important leadership skills.
Professional development opportunities (lab meetings, institute seminars, and conference attendance as appropriate).
Competitive compensation and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 403(b)), and relocation assistance as applicable.
Campus perks including café access, and fitness facilities.
Minimum Qualifications
BS or MS in a relevant field (e.g., Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, Synthetic Biology, Biophysics, Chemical Biology, Ecology, Microbiology, or related discipline).
3+ years of laboratory experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on experience with molecular biology and/or genetics (cloning, PCR, gel electrophoresis, etc.).
Comfort with careful organization and recordkeeping (tracking cloning projects, animal lines, and experimental details).
Familiarity with sequence/plasmid design tools (e.g., Geneious, Benchling, SnapGene).
Imaging experience (widefield fluorescence, confocal, or similar).
Strong attention to detail and observational skill (e.g., recognizing “happy worms,” regeneration phenotypes, and subtle health changes).
A love and excitement for the organisms we work with.

Key Responsibilities Skills, Knowledge and Expertise Benefits About Meridian Bird Removal Guaranteed Bird Removal service is not a new segment of the pest control and wildlife industry, but it's now easier than ever. We offer four specialized services that remove interior bird issues, help control exterior bird populations, remove nests, and prevent future bird issues. All our services are fast, effective, require no shutdown, and are public relations friendly.
Our Services:
Interior Bird Removal
Interior birds have traditionally been a challenge, and many companies use outdated methods to remove the invaders. Our patented “Bird-N-Free” capture system and process allows us to predictably remove birds from inside any facility.
Exterior Population Reduction
When nuisance bird populations grow out of control, reducing their numbers can save damage to the exterior of a facility, as well as prevent birds from entering the facility.
Nest Removal
Nest Removal is a critical component of our bird removal services. To safely perform nest removal, our technicians wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow a careful set of guidelines to contain all of the nesting materials.
Full Facility Inspection
Our Full Facility Inspection involves a deep dive into operational practices, facility maintenance, and sanitation issues. By evaluating these three key areas, we are able to give an accurate assessment of your current situation and provide a post-service recommendation to help prevent future bird issues. Meridian Bird Removal is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace.
