Research Assistant position available	

	A position is available for a Research Assistant in my lab in the Department 
of Biology at Brandeis University.  Our primary research interest is the 
development and function of the chemosensory nervous system of C. 
elegans.  We are looking for someone to carry out an independent research 
project and to occasionally assist lab members with their experiments.  
Additional job responsibilities will include maintaining worm strains, 
ordering supplies and supervising work/study students.  The applicant 
should have a BS/MS degree and a minimum of 1-3 years of experience in 
molecular biology and/or genetics.  The applicant should be motivated, have 
good organizational skills, an ability to work well with people and a lively 
interest in biological questions.  Flexibility in working hours is desirable 
although not essential.  Familiarity with Macintosh computer systems is also 
a plus.

	Brandeis University offers excellent benefits.  The department is small, 
friendly and interactive.  The lab also maintains interactions with other worm 
researchers in the area.  The campus is located in Waltham, approximately 10 
miles west of Cambridge and Boston.  Salary will be commensurate with 
experience.  

	Please send CV and three letters of reference to:
