What is the difference between Hourly Experimental Research vs Laboratory Technician?

AspectHourly Experimental ResearchLaboratory Technician
CredentialsTypically requires a bachelor's degree in a related fieldUsually requires a high school diploma or associate degree
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, experimental settingsClinical, industrial, or research laboratories
Job FocusDesigning and conducting experiments, data analysisPreparing samples, maintaining lab equipment, supporting experiments
Industry UsageResearch institutions, biotech, pharmaceuticalsHealthcare, manufacturing, research facilities

Hourly Experimental Research roles focus on designing and conducting experiments, often requiring a bachelor's degree and working in research labs. Laboratory Technicians support these activities by preparing samples and maintaining equipment, typically with less formal education. Both roles are essential in research settings but differ in responsibilities and qualifications.

Job description

Overview

Princeton University's Neuroscience Institute seeks applicants for a Research Assistant position in a premiere research laboratory whose work focuses on neural circuits for social communication and sensorimotor integration using the fruit fly Drosophila as a model system (see murthylab.princeton.edu). Research in the lab employs state-of-the-art neuroscience approaches, including quantitative behavior analyses, computational modeling, neural recordings, connectomics, molecular biology, and genetic tools. We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working individual who has a willingness to learn and acquire new skills (and a demonstrated track record in learning new techniques). The RA will work with lab members on conducting behavioral and neural imaging experiments, and on analyzing experimental data. Prior experience with Drosophila and/or neuroscience is strongly preferred.

This is a one-year term position with the possibility of renewal contingent upon successful performance and funding.

Responsibilities

Assist postdoctoral fellows and graduate students on behavioral and calcium imaging experiments related to the neural basis of sensorimotor behaviors in Drosophila. These experiments will seek to validate hypotheses generated from the recently completed fly whole-brain connectome. Apply scientific and technical knowledge to lab research projects, conduct rigorous data analysis, contribute results and scientific writing.

Qualifications

Essential

  • Bachelors degree in Neuroscience, Biology or related field.
  • Prior experience working in a research lab at a University or Medical School.
  • Excellent organizational skills , attention to detail, and ability to work well with others.
  • Outstanding references.
