Job Summary
The Hay lab is interested in a variety of topics. Many projects can
be thought of as involving, in some sense, study of, and/or
engineering the composition or fate of populations. At the
subcellular level, we are interested in organelle genomes, how they
can be engineered, how quality control occurs to eliminate
defective genomes, why quality control often fails (during aging),
and the development of methods for enhancing it. At the level of
the cell, we are interested in cell death and neurodegeneration. At
the level of individual organisms, we are interested in methods for
inducing long-term infertility. At the level of populations of
organisms, we are interested in developing technologies for
modifying the genetic composition or fate of wild populations,
ranging from prokaryotes to plants, insects and mammals using gene
drive.
Common activities the successful candidate will contribute to
include recombinant DNA cloning, the creation of transgenic
organisms, cell culture, Drosophila genetics, plant (Arabidopsis)
genetics, RNA and DNA sequencing, qPCR, and immunofluorescence
microscopy. Primary work will be with others but may also involve
independent research.
