We are hiring! Looking for Lab Technician/Specialist
Interested in stem cells, development, regeneration, or effects of viral infection on the musculoskeletal system? Come join the Kardon lab! We are looking for a lab technician/specialist to help us research the role of stem cells in muscle development and regeneration and determine the effects of viral infection on muscle structure and function.
Technician/Specialist will assist in management of a mouse colony as well as conduct research. Authorship on publications is anticipated. Technician/Specialist must be reliable, well-organized, detail-oriented, excited about research, and committed to working in our lab for at least two years. Prior lab experience is preferred for specialist, although not necessarily required for technician.
Lab is located at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, affording amazing opportunities for science and outdoor recreation. Excellent team environment and great benefits.
Flexible start dates between May and July 2024. For full consideration, apply by April 12, 2024, but we still will consider later applications. Please send your CV, list of references, and a brief statement about why you are interested in the position to Gabrielle Kardon at gkardon@genetics.utah.edu.
