Dear Biology Seniors,
There is a Research Technician Position available in Dr. Allan Goldstein's Lab at Mass General Hospital - Pediatric Surgery. The Research technician position begins June 2018. The position requires at least a one-year commitment with preference given to applicants who can commit to two years.
 As a pediatric surgery research technician in the Goldstein Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, you would be involved in basic science and translational research in a laboratory setting.
The Goldstein lab is interested in the development and diseases of the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex neuronal network whose principal function is to maintain normal intestinal motility. Congenital abnormalities of the ENS are responsible for severe gastrointestinal disorders in childhood, including Hirschsprung’s disease, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and other causes of dysmotility. As a research technician, your time will be spent performing experimental techniques including immunohistochemistry, mouse and chick embryo dissection, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). There are also many opportunities to shadow physicians including Dr. Allan Goldstein, who is Surgeon-in-Chief and Chief of Pediatric Surgery at Mass General Hospital for Children, in the clinic and in the operating room.
This position is an excellent opportunity to become involved in scientific research in developmental biology at a leading hospital in Boston. If you are considering a career in medicine, this position would give you the chance to work with physicians daily and contribute to scientific knowledge on congenital disorders of the enteric nervous system.
We expect applicants to have a strong background in the sciences, including experience in a research lab setting. Moreover, we are especially interested in applicants who have taken developmental biology or embryology courses or who have other experience in these disciplines.
If you are interested, please send a cover letter and resume to Emily Arciero (earciero at mgh.harvard.edu<mailto:earciero at mgh.harvard.edu>) and to Allan Goldstein (amgoldstein at partners.org<mailto:amgoldstein at partners.org>).
