The lab of Dr. Flaminia Catteruccia at Harvard University is looking for a collaborative and self-driven Research Technician to support various research projects of the lab and usage of a high throughput cell sorter. The Catteruccia Lab studies the molecular and behavioral parameters that are key to the ability of the Anopheles mosquitoes to transmit malaria, with special emphasis on reproductive biology and vector-Plasmodium interactinos. Their aim is to provide crucial knowledge to aid in the development of new, effective tools for mosquito and malaria control. A key component of their research involves fieldwork studies in Africa on mating biology and natural malaria infections. These studies, in collaboration with IRSS in Burkina Faso, ICIPE in Kenya and other partners, are expanding our understanding of mosquito reproductive biology, mosquito-microbiota interactions, and natural malaria infections. More information can be found on the lab . In this role, you will serve as an integral part of the lab's research, and grow into eventually serving as the subject matter expert for usage of the high throughput cell sorter. We are looking for someone who is intelligent, self-driven, and a problem solver at heart. What You Will Do
