CHEManager International
Research Technician II - Part-time
CHEManager International, Houston, Texas, United States, 77246
Job Title: Research Technician II - Part-time
Division: Molecular and Human Genetics
Work Arrangement: Onsite only
Location: Houston, TX
Salary Range: $14,236 - $16,749
FLSA Status: Nonexempt
Work Schedule: Flexible (16 hrs/week, Monday to Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm)
Summary The Ira lab is seeking a Research Technician II to oversee general lab ordering, organization, and perform experiments related to the lab's exploration of DNA recombination processes. This position has been vacant since the departure of our previous research technician and a replacement is needed as soon as possible to complete the aims of the grant. The research goal of the lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms of homologous recombination and the role different proteins play during recombination. The main experimental model is recombination induced by a single double‑strand‑break. This assay allows us to follow the kinetics of all steps in recombination at the level of DNA strand exchange and protein‑DNA interaction. The results will provide insight into the molecular basis of genetic instability observed in cancer.
Job Duties
Order and maintain inventory of lab supplies.
Maintain a clean and organized workspace.
Document results of experiments.
Perform other job‑related duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in a Basic Science or related field; four years of related experience may substitute for degree requirement.
No experience required.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in molecular genetics, molecular biology, and deep sequencing.
Experience with yeast cells, constructing mutant strains, and using CRISPR/Cas9 methods to induce point mutations.
Familiarity with laboratory safety protocols and sterilization techniques.
