The Laboratory Assistant II will be part of a talented and dynamic research group focused on understanding stem cell-mediated tissue regeneration and the impact of aging on this process. You will assist in studies aiming to understand skeletal muscle maintenance and regeneration, and to develop animal models of aging interventions. These studies will involve the use of cell and molecular biology techniques, flow cytometry, and next-generation sequencing. We provide a supportive environment to develop these skills in relevant areas. The Lab Assistant II will also participate in routine lab maintenance.

Required:

• Knowledge of standard laboratoryequipment and supplies.
• Good communication skills and abilityto work well with multiple individuals.
• Ability to maintain an organizedworking area.
• Ability to keep accurate and organizedlab records.
• Ability to work on several projectssimultaneously and to switch focus as needed.
• Knowledge of chemistry to preparecommon lab solutions.
• Knowledge of basic molecular biologytechniques.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to learn new laboratorytechniques and use new lab equipment, as needed.
• General knowledge of Universityprocedures.

Preferred:

• B.S. Biology, Microbiology, Genetics,or related field.
• Knowledge of laboratory safetyprocedures for handling chemical and biohazardous waste.
