UICentre is the campus wide drug discovery initiative at UIC that coordinates teams of collaborating scientists across campus. We have recently landed a large grant from the NHLBI to develop a novel compound to treat sleep disordered breathing. We would like to hire 1 or 2 motivated undergraduates to fill laboratory technician positions.
Students must be willing to work at least 20 hrs a week for the next 2 years. The primary responsibility will be production of recombinant protein for the project as a whole. There will, however, be numerous opportunities to work on other aspects of the project. Backgrounds in molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology are preferred. Interested applicants submit a brief resume/CV to drugdiscovery@uic.edu. Include major, GPA, relevant work history and course work.
