Biology Opportunities

The Stavropoulos laboratory at the Waksman Institute and Rutgers University
(https://www.stavropouloslab.org) is seeking a full-time research technician to perform
research on the mechanisms that regulate sleep. Our studies use the fruit fly
Drosophila to characterize genes and neuronal circuits underlying sleep-wake cycles.

The Chen lab aims to generate novel therapies to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases<br>based on our basic science understanding about RNA function and regulation. We investigate the mechanisms and regulation of circular RNAs (circRNAs), a newly identified class of ubiquitous RNAs in essentially all eukaryotes and some viruses. Thus far, circRNAs have been found to function as miRNA sponges, regulate transcription, and act as templates for translation. However, there are still many unanswered questions: What other functions do circRNAs possess? How are circRNAs degraded? What are their interacting proteins? Specifically, we aim to understand how different layers of regulation including RNA modifications and cellular localization affect RNA function to enable new insights into both normal function and how dysregulation leads to disease. The Chen Laboratory applies molecular, cellular, and chemical biology techniques coupled with next-generation sequencing to address these questions.

Full time position as a Biopsy Technician. Work at Allina HealthCare’s Central Laboratory in its Tenth Avenue Facility connected to the Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Full-time: Monday – Friday; 1:00 pm – 9:30 pm.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The biopsy technician works alongside HPA’s accomplished pathologists’ assistants and other healthcare professionals in the laboratory diagnostic process. As a biopsy technician, you will perform gross examinations of routine pathology specimens. A gross exam is the visual inspection of tissue removed from patients during surgical procedures. It involves describing, measuring, and sometimes manipulating the tissue (using ink or sectioning with a scalpel) before submitting it for histologic processing. Gross examination of pathology specimens is one of the first and most critical parts of the laboratory diagnostic process and an integral part of patient care.

Part-time position as a Biology Technician at MNGI Digestive Health’s Cityview campus (3001 Broadway St. NE, Minneapolis MN) Schedule: Monday – Friday; from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm Position Overview…

The Landick Research Group a recent bachelor’s graduate in biochemistry, micro-biology, genetics, chemistry, or a related field who seeks further training prior to graduate school. We seek a highly motivated candidate with undergraduate research experience who will benefit from learning rigorous experimental science while studying the structure, mechanism, and regulation of the central enzyme of gene expression, RNA polymerase. The successful candidate will be eager to pursue a career in science, hard-working, curious, and able to work effectively in a group and semi-independently after training. Strong quantitative and concentration skills are required. Our research uses biochemistry, in vivo genome-scale methods, and structural biology to understand the regulation of RNA polymerase in diverse bacteria relevant to human health. The position is available to start no later than June 2023 and requires a 2-year commitment.
