Job Summary: The Holford Lab at Harvard University studies the complex trait and novelty using venomous organisms. Specifically, we study how venom evolves, develop, and function in predatory marine mollusks and how the components of a venom arsenal can be used for treating human disorders such as pain and cancer.  We are taking an integrative multi-modal approach for studying venom using a broad range of techniques including multi-omic (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic) profiling, lineage tracing, histology, cell culture, bioinformatics, and molecular and biochemical assays. The ultimate goal of our research is to uncover guiding principles of rapidly evolving genes. We are seeking a Laboratory Technician  to support our growing lab needs. Job-Specific Responsibilities: This position will report directly to the Principal Investigator and perform the following duties: 1.    Prepares matter for analysis and diagnosis, performing duties such as cutting, embedding and...
