Research Specialist I (Finance)
The Genetic Design and Engineering Center (GDEC) is a state-of-the-art synthetic biology core facility that serves Rice University and the Texas Medical Center. GDEC seeks to use high-throughput cloning, robotic automation, and next-generation sequencing to build genetic constructs at a scale not accessible to individual labs. The facility will enable large-scale experimentation and bioengineering to accelerate cancer research and therapeutics. The technician position at GDEC will involve molecular cloning, next-generation sequencing/sample preparation, operation of liquid handling robots, sample management, and lab maintenance as required. Lab management duties will include assessing laboratory supply inventories, assisting in the ordering new reagents, and helping to organize laboratory protocols.
