Research Technician II/III in C. elegans Neurobiology

The Yan Laboratory in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Duke University School of Medicine is seeking a motivated Research Technician II or III to support research projects using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of nervous system development, maintenance, aging, and regeneration, with a focus on neuron–glia interactions, neuronal and glial development, and axon/dendrite degeneration and regeneration. The technician will maintain C. elegans strains, perform genetic experiments, prepare reagents, maintain laboratory resources, and assist with experimental protocols. This role offers hands-on experience in genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, microscopy, and neurobiology within a collaborative academic research environment.
