Job Description

We currently have an opening for a Research Technician I in the lab of Dr. Cagla Eroglu at Duke University. The Eroglu Lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synaptic connectivity in the CNS. They aim to understand how astrocyte-neuron communication shapes neuronal circuitry in the normal mammalian brain and how problems in astrocyte-neuron communication contribute to the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. The role involves performing a variety of technical duties including tissue culture, immunocytochemistry, viral-based techniques, microscopy, imaging, image analysis, and PCR. The technician will support maintenance of mouse and rat colonies, generate and maintain primary neuron and astrocyte cultures, process tissue for histology, collect and organize data, participate in lab meetings and workshops, review literature, maintain lab operations, and support other technicians under the lab manager's direction. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in biology, neurobiology, or related fields or equivalent experience, a passion for science, good communication and organizational skills, and enthusiasm to learn new techniques. Experience with molecular biology techniques and live mouse handling is a plus. Physical requirements include ability to remain seated or standing for extended periods, dexterity, communication skills, and mobility to move materials weighing several pounds. Reasonable accommodations may be provided for persons with disabilities. The position offers direct mentorship, professional development opportunities, potential for authorship and presentations, and a competitive compensation package with comprehensive benefits.
