Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Human Genetics
Clemson University and the Greenwood Genetic Center
The Clemson University Center for Human Genetics and the Greenwood Genetic Center have been awarded a five-year Phase I COBRE in Human Genetics grant to understand the genetic, genomic, and epigenetic mechanisms by which molecular genetic variation affects transcriptional and other molecular networks in health and disease. The Research Core of the COBRE in Human Genetics is seeking a Molecular Genetics Technician to support the genomics research of Research and Pilot Project Leaders and their laboratories. Ideally, the successful applicant will have previous molecular biology and genomics experience, including (but not limited to) basic molecular biology and next generation sample and library preparation for Illumina short read and Pacific Biosciences long read sequencing. However, this is not required and training in these techniques will be provided. Salary will be within the range provided and commensurate with credentials and experience.
Molecular genetics technician will support the Research Project and Pilot Project Leaders and their graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the COBRE in Human Genetics as a member of the Research Core at the Center for Human Genetics in Greenwood, SC. The duties will include sample preparation, genomic DNA and RNA extraction, library preparation, and other duties as assigned.
