For this position, the intern will help more senior members of the laboratory perform a combination of wet- and dry- laboratory procedures.

We anticipate the candidate will perform cell culture, DNA/RNA isolation, and other common molecular biology techniques.
The candidate MUST be interested and enthusiastic about the overarching work in our laboratory. Previous laboratory experience is desirable, but not required. Traditionally, this position has been filled with a recent college graduate who is interested in augmenting their experience for 2-3 years while applying to graduate or medical school.
Please send your CV/Resume and a brief cover letter to Hunter Shain ([email protected]).
