Lab Manager role in the Nemudryi Lab focused on bacteriophage biology
The Nemudryi Lab is seeking an OPS Lab Tech/Lab Manager to support innovative research focused on the molecular arms race between bacteria and bacteriophages.
This hybrid laboratory role combines hands-on experimental research with laboratory management responsibilities, making it an excellent opportunity for early-career scientists interested in microbiology, molecular biology, bacteriophage research, and biotechnology operations.
This is a dual-function position involving both bench research and laboratory operations and management. The successful candidate will work closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) and senior lab members to maintain the lab’s efficiency and organization.
The Nemudryi Lab investigates how bacteria defend themselves against bacteriophages and how phages evolve to overcome these immune systems.
Research areas include:
- Bacterial anti-phage immune systems
- Bacteriophage biology
- Molecular genetics
- Structural bioinformatics
- Protein biochemistry
- Host-phage interactions
The long-term goal of the lab is to uncover new biological mechanisms that can be translated into tools for science and medicine.
Research Responsibilities
Research Responsibilities and research duties include:
- Performing molecular biology experiments
- DNA and RNA extraction
- PCR and gel electrophoresis
- Molecular cloning
- Recombinant protein purification
- Culturing bacteria and bacteriophages
- Conducting phage infection and plaque assays
- Maintaining detailed experimental records
- Analyzing data and presenting findings during lab meetings
Lab Management Responsibilities
The Lab Tech/Lab Manager will also help oversee daily laboratory operations by:
- Ordering reagents and laboratory supplies
- Tracking equipment and consumable inventories
- Preparing media, buffers, and standard lab stocks
- Organizing shared laboratory spaces
- Supporting onboarding and training of new lab members
- Ensuring compliance with laboratory safety procedures
Qualifications & Skills Required
- Bachelor’s degree in: Microbiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology
- Experience in Bacterial or bacteriophage culture, Molecular cloning, PCR workflows, Protein expression and purification
- Experience in Biochemical assays
