The position will also entail some lab support tasks such as ordering and maintaining lab supplies and equipment, maintaining lab records, and adhering to safety regulations. The candidate will be mentored by faculty and will be encouraged to contribute to publications, present work at meetings, participate in weekly lab meetings; and motivated candidates will have the opportunity to lead projects.

Duties include:

· Routine maintenance of the lab’s mouse colony. This means working with the PI and other researchers to determine needed genotypes for experiments, designing the genetic crosses to generate those animals, weaning and genotyping cages in a timely and accurate manner, and maintaining detailed searchable records.

· Will be expected to assist with regulatory aspects of animal research, including IRB submissions or APLAC protocols.
