Undergraduate Researcher Needed in Synthetic Biology and Programmed Evolution
The Klavins lab is looking for an undergraduate student in an engineering or biology program interested in synthetic biology research. He or she will participate in the design and fabrication of a novel fluidic device that works with a flow cytometer. The device will have several selectable liquid inputs tubes feeding the cytometer that allow us to measure the stochastic properties of cells growing in liquid cultures. This project will be part of a broader research project with the objective of quantifying the dynamic behaviors of synthetic systems operating inside living microbes.
Relevant skills include:
Programming
Electronics
Fabrication
Knowledge of biology/biochemistry/microbiology
Enthusiasm
Good organization
Of the above, only the last two are required. If interested, please prepare an application including a cover letter, a cv/resume, and an unofficial transcript. Send the application to cnt@u.washington.edu. More information about the Klavins lab can be found at: http://soslab.ee.washington.edu/
