Molecular Biology Technician (Jan - May)

The Hauf lab (https://www.hauflab.org/) is looking for a lab technician with molecular biology skills for about 6 months from January to May/June 2025. The goal will be to create yeast strains with appropriate fluorescent markers for RNA live-cell imaging. Techniques will include PCR, cloning, and genome editing. Prior experience with molecular biology techniques (outside of lab classes) and exceptional organizational skills are required. This will be a wage position. The position is ideal if you graduate in December but don't need to leave Blacksburg until the end of the academic year. Part-time employment would be possible, but the minimum will be 15 hours/week. 

In your cover letter, please explain why you are interested and highlight all your skills that will be an asset in this position. 

Don't hesitate to be in touch if you have questions.
