Experimentalist Technician Position
Quantitative Biology Group @ Division of Basic Sciences,
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is an independent, nonprofit research institution. It was selected as one of the top places to work in the Seattle area (Seattle magazine.) Home to three Nobel Laureates, it offers a collegial, interactive, and intellectually stimulating environment.
You are invited to apply for a technician position at the quantitative biology group (http://labs.fhcrc.org/shou/). We are interested in using experimental biology to quantitatively examine “cooperation,because cooperation can be found virtually everywhere: between different cell types (e.g. our body), different individuals (e.g. ant colonies), or different species (e.g. flower-pollinator symbiosis). How can cooperation survive the invasion of cheaters that take but not give How does cooperation evolve We plan to study cooperation initially using an engineered system in which two complementary types of yeast cells can only survive when both types are present. Conceptually simple and experimentally tractable, the system can be used to quantitatively address a variety of questions on cooperation.
We are looking for a responsible individual who desires the fun and challenge of participating in the growth of an interdisciplinary group consisting of members from biology, physics, and engineering. This is ideal for an individual who has laboratory research experiences and wants to have his/her own project in addition to maximizing the efficacy of the lab.
To apply, please send your CV (including research experiences, publications, and a list of references) along with a cover letter describing your future goals to ksnell@fhcrc.org.
