About The Position
The Lehmann lab is seeking a motivated, curious, and detail-oriented Technical Assistant I to help support cutting-edge research into the molecular mechanisms that define germ cell identity. This role is ideal for recent graduates planning to pursue graduate or medical school, or for experienced individuals looking to broaden their skillset. Our research aims to uncover how transcriptional regulation promotes and maintains germ cell fate. A specific program for germ cell transcriptional activation has yet to be described, largely because a ‘master regulator transcription factor’ for germ cell fate has not been identified in any organism. We aim to discover key transcriptional regulators of germ cell fate and reveal how germ cell identity is established and protected. Understanding these mechanisms has far reaching implications for fertility and cancer research, including the generation of germ cells from somatic cells to treat infertility. The research technician will work closely under the supervision of the Principle Investigator and a postdoctoral fellow to learn and perform a variety of research activities, including fluorescence microscopy, molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatic analysis, cloning, and data analysis.
