Professionals in this field use research methods from genetics, psychology, and neuroscience to examine traits such as personality, intelligence, and mental health. They often work in academic institutions, healthcare settings, or research organizations, analyzing genetic data and conducting experiments. The goal is to better understand how genes contribute to individual differences in behavior and susceptibility to psychological disorders.

To thrive as a Behavioral Geneticist, you need a strong background in genetics, psychology, and statistical analysis, typically supported by an advanced degree in genetics, psychology, or a related field. Proficiency with genetic analysis software, laboratory techniques, and data management systems is essential, and certifications in genetics or bioinformatics may be advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills enable effective collaboration and dissemination of complex research findings. These skills are crucial for conducting rigorous research, interpreting data accurately, and contributing to advances in the understanding of genetic influences on behavior.

As a Behavior Technician at Applied Behavioral Services, you will provide structured behavioral treatment to children with autism and related developmental needs.

This is not a traditional daycare, babysitting, or classroom aide position. Your work will be guided by an individualized treatment plan developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, or BCBA. You will be expected to follow that plan consistently, collect accurate data, respond professionally to challenging behavior, and use evidence-based strategies to help each student develop communication, social, behavioral, and independent-living skills.


Minimum Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent

  • Experience supporting children or individuals with special needs, emotional needs, developmental disabilities, or behavioral challenges

  • Ability to remain calm, professional, and composed during high-stress situations, including behavioral crises

  • Ability to collect data accurately and document services consistently

  • Openness to direct coaching, observation, and performance feedback

  • Ability to complete all required background checks and meet applicable provider-network enrollment requirements

Preferred Qualifications

  • Associate degree or higher in psychology, education, social work, human services, or a related field

  • Active Registered Behavior Technician, or RBT, certification

  • Current Crisis Prevention Institute, or CPI, training

  • Current CPR and first-aid certification

What You’ll Do

  • Implement ABA programs and behavior intervention plans as directed by the BCBA

  • Collect and record accurate data on student progress and behavior outcomes

  • Provide feedback and observations to clinical supervisors and families

  • Support students during therapy sessions using evidence-based ABA techniques

  • Maintain confidentiality, professionalism, and a clean, organized work environment

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Enjoy both paid time off and extra paid school breaks (for select roles), plus paid holidays

  • Wellness perks including gym discounts, mindfulness apps, and prescription savings

  • Tuition reimbursement, career development programs, and leadership training

  • 401(k) retirement savings with a 4% company match and immediate vesting

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • Free Employee Assistance Program with confidential counseling, life coaching, and mental health resources

  • Life insurance, disability coverage, and Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions at no cost to you
