GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
The Evavold Laboratory (https://ragoninstitute.org/evavold/) at the Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard invites applications for a Lab Technician position. We seek a passionate, motivated individual that brings a positive outlook to research tasks and maintenance of lab operations. The Evavold Lab focuses on the basic decision making of cells towards different cell fates using cell death programs as a model system. Projects utilize genetic screening, synthetic biology, and mRNA technology development applied to host-pathogen interactions, vaccinology, and cancer immunology.
The candidate will assist in research aimed at defining molecular and cell biological regulation of cell death in the context of the innate immune system. These studies will combine techniques from molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology, immunology, and metabolism to probe cellular decision making. Recent studies have combined the use of synthetic biology to model signaling nodes within a canonical pathway under precise chemical control coupled to targeted or genome-wide genetic perturbations.
This position is ideal for candidates who are interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research, industry, or medicine. A commitment of at least 2 years by the candidate is of high priority to the lab to ensure adequate time for training and continuity of projects in the lab. The Ragon Institute serves as an ideal setting for this training and research opportunity with access to state-of-the-art facilities and technologies in a highly collaborative environment.
