New York, United States Columbia University in the City of New York: Columbia University Irving Medical Center: Vagelos Coll Full time

The Batut Lab in the Department of Genetics & Development at Columbia University is seeking a skilled and enthusiastic Staff Associate I to join our team. The new Staff Associate will independently manage the ordering of supplies, prepare buffers and media, and maintain the lab’s _Drosophila_ collection, and will work closely with other members of the team to support a range of ongoing research projects in the lab. They will also take part in training new students and other incoming members of the lab.

Our group investigates the genetic sequences and molecular mechanisms that regulate **gene expression** during development. Genes are often controlled by **regulatory elements** scattered over vast genomic regions, and we study how **3D genome organization** helps establish specific regulatory interactions at the right time and place. Additionally, these regulatory elements are often themselves transcribed, producing **non-coding RNAs** that can also regulate gene expression. We study these mechanisms through a multidisciplinary approach that combines state-of-the-art **genome engineering**, **functional genomics**, and **single-cell live imaging** to visualize the molecular events of transcription in living embryos.

The lab just opened in January 2024, and we are looking for highly motivated individuals to join us in creating a vibrant, collaborative and welcoming environment

**Qualifications**

**Minimum qualifications**:

- Requires a Bachelor's degree in biology or related discipline and 4 years of experience in a biomedical research setting.

**Additional Position-Specific Minimum Qualifications**:

- A commitment of two or more years is desired.
- Applicant should have strong knowledge of molecular biology and genetics.
- Applicant should have experience with molecular cloning methods (_e.g._, PCR, restriction digests, agarose gel electrophoresis, Gibson assembly, bacterial transformation & culture) and excellent proficiency using micropipettes, running gels, setting up enzymatic reactions, and learning new techniques.
- Experience with _Drosophila_ husbandry and genetics is a plus, but is not required.
- Applicant must have excellent organizational and communication skills
- Showing interest in engaging socially with the rest of the lab is a plus, and the applicant must be a team player and enjoy/excel at working collaboratively in groups.
