- This position will have four major duties: 1) performing and assisting lab members on molecular biology experiments, especially pertaining to cell-extraction for transcriptomic experiments, 2) analyzing and interpreting transcriptomic data, 3) coordinating cell-extraction and transcriptomic experiments across multiple labs, and 4) Drosophila husbandry, maintenance and genetics.
- The Kaun Laboratory uses molecular and genetic tools available in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to investigate the neural substrates of memory, reward, and addiction at the molecular and cellular level.
- A combination of molecular biology and bioinformatics is utilized to understand the molecular mechanisms through which memory circuits respond to drugs of abuse.
- An interdisciplinary approach is used that combines molecular genetics with behavioral analysis to understand the in vivo mechanism of memories at the level of individual circuits and their component cells.
- Required: Bachelor's degree in Neurobiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related science (grade 7 & grade 8)
