The Miller Lab (https://www.miller.biochem.utah.edu/) in the Department of Biochemistry is looking for a Research Technician to join our team. We are an interdisciplinary molecular biology lab that uses yeast as a model system to study how cells ensure the correct distribution of chromosomes to daughter cells when they ultimately divide. Chromosome segregation errors are the leading cause of miscarriages and congenital birth defects and are the most prevalent genetic alteration in tumor cells. Despite this, we know very little about why chromosome segregation is so defective in these circumstances. We have recently made several exciting discoveries regarding factors that play a key role in ensuring accurate chromosome segregation (https://miller.biochem.utah.edu/publications), and are currently following up on these findings.We are seeking someone to perform bench-level experiments, provide technical research assistance, and assist in general lab organization. The anticipated duration for this position is a minimum of two years.
