The Behringer Lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt University is looking for a Research Technician to oversee long-term experimental culture of various anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, including Lactobacilli and Escherichia coli. The Behringer lab is a young and vibrant team dedicated to understanding fundamental biological processes in a collaborative environment. Our lab is actively involved with the Vanderbilt Evolutionary Studies Initiative and the Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology, and Inflammation, making it a wonderful opportunity for recent graduates looking for a two-year position to gain valuable research experience prior to pursuing a graduate degree. The major research focus of this position is understanding how oxygen exposure shapes microbial evolution, which aligns with the global lab interests of how microbes evolve in stressful environments. The Research Technician is a key member of the research team responsible for supporting the research, organization, and day to day operations of the lab. As such, this position requires skills in microbial cell culture, nucleic acid extraction, and project organization. Applicants with experience conducting experimental evolution or anerobic microbial cell culture are strongly preferred.
