A research technician position is available in the lab led by Beth Archie in the Biology Department at the University of Notre Dame. The Archie Lab uses population genetic tools to understand the genetic and disease-related causes and consequences of animal social behavior. Our current research systems are wild elephants and baboons living in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. For more information about the Archie Lab, see our web page at http://www.nd.edu/~earchie/.
The successful applicant will conduct population genetics research in the lab and be involved in laboratory management (ordering supplies, working with students). A Bachelor‚s degree in biology, or a related discipline, is required. Experience with basic genetics techniques (e.g., DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis) is essential; experience with research in population genetics and/or phylogenetics is especially useful.
