research technicians. Technicians will be responsible for contributing
to ongoing scientific research in the lab, overseeing Drosophila stock
maintenance, preparing Drosophila media, ordering reagents and supplies,

in the lab.  Research will focus on investigation of X-linked hybrid
male sterility in Drosophila, using genetic, gene expression, and
cytological methods to investigate spermatogenesis in sterile hybrid
males.  Applicants must have a BS, BA, or MA degree in biology or a
related field.  Relevant experience includes prior academic training
in genetics and/or evolution, experience with Drosophila husbandry,
familiarity with molecular biology techniques and strong organizational
skills.  Starting annual salary will be between $25 – $30,000 depending
on experience, plus health care benefits.  The expected start date will
