Research Assistant II/III

[Nathan Bahary]

Two openings are immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Nathan 
Bahary at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to study 
blood/vasculature and gastrointestinal development in the Zebrafish.  

We are searching for two highly motivated individuals, who will help 
examine mutant zebrafish and be involved in genetic screens for new 
mutants affecting organ development. These positions will be primarily 
laboratory based and encompass a wide variety of developmental and 
genetic techniques. The successful candidates should have a bachelor's 
degree, preferably science related, be comfortable with personal computers 
and possess exceptional organizational skills, interpersonal skills, and the 
ability to work independently,. Previous zebrafish experience, although a 
plus, is not required. These positions provide not only a vehicle to learn and 
expand your skills in genetics and developmental bench experimentation, 
but also an exciting opportunity to help create the first large-scale zebrafish 
facility/program in Western Pennsylvania.  

These positions are full time, and we seek a two-year commitment from 
qualified candidates. Salary is commensurate with experience.  

Please send a cover letter/CV or address inquiries to (email/phone 
preferable)
