Southern analysis of mutant alleles; transcript localization by in situ
hybridization; sequence analysis using online databases; ordering of
supplies and equipment.  This position will involve supervision of one
or more undergraduate lab assistants.

Required qualifications: understanding of basic Mendelian genetics;
molecular biology/genetics experience; stereomicroscopy and compound
microscopy experience; excellent organizational and communication
skills.
