Job Title: BIOL - Pani Lab and Research Tech 2

The Pani Lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Virginia seeks applications for two Lab Research Technician 2 positions in the area of cell biology and regeneration. The Pani lab uses acoelomorph flatworms and C. elegans to investigate the cellular and mechanisms underlying development, homeostasis, and regeneration.

Responsibilities:
  • Maintaining breeding acoelomorph (Hofstenia miamia) colony, including tank maintenance and feeding of adult and juvenile animals.
  • Conducting molecular biology experiments on H. miamia development and regeneration using pharmacological inhibitors or protein treatments.
  • Conducting experiments that involve characterizing gene expression patterns using immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization.
  • Fulfilling other lab duties as needed.
Requirements:
  • At least 2 years of lab experience which may include student experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in related science will be considered in lieu of experience.

The ideal candidates will be self-motivated, passionate about basic science, intellectually engaged in their research topics, and have prior experience with independent research project management as an undergraduate student or technician. A college degree (B.A. or B.S.) in Biology or a related field (by the position start date) is strongly preferred.

The ideal candidates will have experience with one or more of the following techniques:

  • marine invertebrate (preferably acoelomorph) husbandry
  • C. elegans husbandry and genetics
  • confocal or fluorescence microscopy
  • classical developmental biology/embryology methods, and/or molecular biology techniques such as PCR and nucleic acid purification.

Applicants should ideally have demonstrated interest in developmental biology, regeneration, and/or evolutionary biology through undergraduate coursework or prior research experience. Relevant coursework or experience should be included in your resume.

The Lab Technicians' responsibilities will include:

  • Maintaining breeding acoelomorph (Hofstenia miamia) colony, including tank maintenance and feeding of adult and juvenile animals.
  • Conducting molecular biology experiments on H. miamia development and regeneration using pharmacological inhibitors or protein treatments.
  • Conducting experiments that involve characterizing gene expression patterns using immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization.
  • Fulfilling other lab duties as needed.

The Lab and Research Tech 2 positions will report to Ariel Pani, Assistant Professor of Biology.

This position can spend extensive periods of time standing and squatting while conducting experiments or caring for animals. Also requires keyboarding and other bench work and lab procedures requiring finer finger manipulation.
