<div>Primary Work Address: 2033 Valley Life Sciences Building, Berkeley, CA, 94720-3140<p></p><p><br>
We currently have an opening for a <b>Research Technician II</b> in the lab of <b>Dr. Barbara J. Meyer</b> at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Meyer is a Genetics, Genomics, Evolution, and Development Professor in the Molecular and Cell Biology Department at University of California (UC), Berkeley, and an adjunct professor in the Biochemistry and Biophysics Department at UC, San Francisco&rsquo;s School of Medicine. The Meyer laboratory investigates mechanisms of cell-fate determination, genome editing, the role of chromosome structure and chromatin modification in gene regulation, and the molecular evolution of chromosome-wide mechanisms of gene control in the nematode <i>C. elegans</i>, with an emphasis on X-chromosome dosage compensation, which balances gene expression between XX hermaphrodites and XO males, and the specification of sexual fate. Previous work by Meyer&rsquo;s team also showed that X-chromosome gene regulation is functionally related to a challenge of all somatic and germline chromosomes: achieving proper structure prior to chromosome segregation, a topic they continue to investigate. Approaches include genetics, spatial genomics, single-molecule biophysics, super-resolution imaging, computational modeling, and structural studies including X-ray crystallography. More information can be found on their website: https://mcb.berkeley.edu/labs/meyer/index.html</p><p></p><p><b>
