John Rawls

The Rawls Lab at Duke University is hiring a research technician for hands-on, in-person work in gastrointestinal physiology . The role focuses on animal research and lab-based experimental support using zebrafish and mice . Responsibilities include managing mouse and zebrafish colonies, animal handling, tissue collection, genotyping, colony recordkeeping, and day-to-day lab operations. The technician will also support molecular biology workflows such as PCR, DNA/RNA/protein extraction, ELISA, and Western blotting, plus histology , immunofluorescence, microscopy, and image analysis. Applicants should have a bachelor's degree in biology, genetics, molecular biology, zoology, veterinary science, or a related field, along with at least one year of hands-on experience with mouse and/or zebrafish research. Strong organization, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently are emphasized. This is a research staff opening rather than a PhD, postdoc, or master's call. The post does not mention a deadline or funding package, but it does provide a direct application link and a lab information link.
