Position available: Research Assistant


April 14, 2008

The Nature Institute is seeking a research assistant for its Nontarget Effects of Genetic Manipulation project (see http://natureinstitute.org/nontarget). The applicant for this position should have
  • An interest in viewing genetics and genetic engineering within broader organismic, ecological and societal contexts, and in raising public awareness about the issues arising within these contexts.

  • A solid biology/genetics background that allows him or her to understand and interpret primary research articles on genetics and genetic engineering; minimum B.S. in biology, M.S. preferred.

  • Excellent writing skills and computer proficiency.

This is a salaried, half-time position and will run at least through the end of 2009. Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications. Benefits: one-half the premium for (1) high deductible medical insurance and (2) dental insurance.

The research assistant need not live in immediate proximity to The Nature Institute, since a portion of the work can be done from a distance; however, the work includes onsite weekly meetings.

This website provides you with information about The Nature Institute's overall work and mission. The Nature Institute is a not-for-profit organization.

Please send your résumé and a brief description of why you are interested in the position to project director Craig Holdrege (craig@natureinstitute.org) or mail it to:
