The Moltke Lab in the UW Immunology Department studies immune responses to parasitic worms, allergens, cancer, and viral infection (moltkelab.com). The lab is seeking to hire an undergraduate student interested in pursuing a PhD in this or a related field. This will be a paid position in which the student works with a postdoctoral fellow in the lab to help with:
• Genotyping of mice
• Inventory and restocking
• Routine lab maintenance
• Assistance with on-going research projects: Immune responses to cancer; helminth-virus co-infections.
This position requires travel to the School of Medicine’s South Lake Union campus. The ideal applicant would be available to work 20-30 hours during the summer and then switch to a 10-15 hours/week schedule during the school year. No previous lab experience is required, but experience with PCR and experience calculating molarity and dilutions are a plus.
Freshmen / Sophomores and individuals from groups underrepresented in the sciences are especially encouraged to apply.
