LABORATORY TECHNICIAN BSBiochemistry Lau Lab

Overview The Nelson Lau lab in the Department of Biochemistry at Boston University School of Medicine is seeking a candidate with a bachelor’s degree. The lab studies basic gene regulation mechanisms by small RNAs and the RNA interference pathway in model organisms, focusing on dissecting the molecular mechanisms of RNAi in the control of viruses and transposons during animal aging and brain function. Responsibilities The candidate will work on NIH grant‑supported investigations into how transposons mobilize and become expressed in model organism cells, such as Drosophila, mouse, and mosquito cells. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in life science required. Prior experience in genetics, molecular biology, or biochemistry preferred. Experience with genomics and deep sequencing a plus. Prior laboratory experience. Ability to design, execute, and analyze experiments involving RNAi‑mediated control of viruses and transposons during animal aging and brain function.
