The DePace lab at Harvard Medical School has the long-term goal of understanding how regulatory DNA dictates transcriptional network behavior and, ultimately, organismal phenotype and evolution. Their approach is mechanistically motivated: they believe that understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive transcription will lead to models of gene regulation that can predict the functional consequences of regulatory sequence changes and guide production of new types of regulatory circuits. As the Research Technician, you will be assisting other members in the lab with various experiments in support of research goals. This position will provide you with an excellent opportunity for scientific learning, development of research skills, and direct mentorship in an intellectually stimulating environment. What you’ll do: Conduct RNA FISH experiments. Use molecular biology techniques working with bacteria and DNA. Learn innovative imaging methods to analyze gene expression in the...

Harvard Medical School seeks a highly motivated individual to support research that uses mouse perturbation technology for conducting forward genetic screens for the discovery of novel immunotherapy targets for cancer. This individual will independently perform and/or coordinate a wide range of laboratory research procedures and conduct a variety of complex support tasks for this project including generation and validation of bone marrow chimeric mice, creating subcutaneous tumor models, and maintaining transgenic mouse strains. This individual will perform a variety of laboratory techniques (including isolation of bone marrow stem cells and T cells, lentiviral transduction, multiparameter flow cytometry, and molecular approaches such as cloning, CRISPR, DNA isolation) independently, reporting results to a supervisor or other lab personnel. Basic Qualifications College background and at least 2 years of laboratory experience including cell culture techniques required....

About us: The Wyss Institute’s mission is to transform healthcare and the environment by emulating the way nature builds. We harness the imagination of academia and the focus of industry to translate ground-breaking technologies into  clinical impact. We support research that universities, companies, and venture capital firms don’t fund because they view it as too risky.  We prefer to use the word “challenging,” and we love challenges. About you: You are a collaborative, impact-focused problem solver who wants to be part of a dynamic team dedicated to creating novel, impactful approaches to global challenges in healthcare and sustainability. You want the opportunity to explore your scientific interests and apply your knowledge to tackle ambitious projects in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial-minded environment with resources and support from top-notch scientific, operations, and administrative professionals. You enjoy working with...
