The Marine Genomics Laboratory (MGL) at Texas A&M University –
Corpus Christi (TAMUCC) seeks a motivated laboratory technician to
join a productive team of colleagues involved in research related
to the evolutionary genetics of exploited fishes. The technician
will be expected to semi-independently work on projects involving
next-generation sequencing, and experience preparing and analyzing
large genomic data sets will be considered a plus. This is a one-year
grant funded position but there will be opportunity to extend the
position depending on funding and performance. More information about
the MGL can be found at (https://www.marinegenomicslab.tamucc.edu/).
Please contact Drs. Portnoy (david....@tamucc.edu) and Hollenbeck
(christopher...@tamucc.edu) directly for questions about this
opportunity.
