Role OverviewJoin us as an Academic Graduate Appointee in the Microbial Systems Biology Group within the Biosciences and Biotechnology Division. You will work as part of a team of scientists conducting research in microbial genetics and synthetic biology, studying protein compartmentalization systems and developing new genetic tools for Rhodococcus species.
What You Will Do
Perform molecular biology workflows, microbiology tasks, generate mutations in bacteria, and test phenotypes using various assays. Maintain accurate lab notebooks, sample records, and experimental documentation. Present results in team meetings and contribute to written reports, presentations, and literature reviews.
Why It Might Be a Fit
We desire experience with microbial genetics or synthetic biology research, molecular biology and microbiology methods, and plasmid and gDNA extraction methods. Familiarity with non-model bacteria, spectrophotometric assays, and data analysis or basic bioinformatics tools is also preferred.
