Job description

An affiliate of Colossal is seeking a Developmental Biologist with background in craniofacial development that will work to design and conduct experiments that will inform genetic engineering for avian de-extinction projects. Leveraging their expertise in genetics and developmental biology, they will work closely with bioinformaticians to identify genetic variants of interest and test the effect of those variants in an embryonic avian model.

**This position is based in Dallas, TX. Relocation assistance is available**

Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Maintain expertise and familiarity with craniofacial genetics and development literature
  • Work closely with the bioinformatics team to identify genetic variants of interest
  • Perform in ovo manipulations and phenotype analysis on avian embryos
  • Process, image, and analyze avian embryos of various stages using techniques such as fluorescent microscopy, whole mount skeletal staining and morphometrics
  • Design, develop, and implement novel experiments, techniques, procedures, protocols, and systems in line with research program objectives for non-model birds
  • Contribute to, and be responsible for, documentation, reports, presentations and publications associated with work

Required Skills and Abilities:

  • Strong, demonstrated knowledge in craniofacial and neural crest cell development.
  • Experience with avian embryo manipulation, such as in ovo electroporation or embryonic tissue transplantation, OR relevant experience in other embryonic systems
  • Strong working knowledge of gene regulatory networks in embryonic development
  • Strong working knowledge of research methodology and study design; hypothesis testing; qualitative and quantitative data interpretation and application
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills
  • Demonstrated ability to take the initiative to move projects forward, make independent judgments, maintain accurate lab data, clearly understand and respond to experimental results, while communicating effectively
