The Pasteur Foundation of New York is looking for US undergraduates for their research internships at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. The goal is to encourage students in the pursuit of a scientific career and to expose them to an international laboratory experience. For a list of the four participating laboratories download FAQ and application Puff's from their website www.pasteurfoundaton.org/succaire.html. Note: there is a 2-part deadline; December 14, 2007 (postmarked) and January 4, 2007 (this is not a "postmark date" but a due date).

Looking for a Research Technician: job number: 38891 (must formerly apply through UA Human resources website) in Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics. A full-time research technician job is available to manage and execute a project designed to identify signaling molecules required for coordinate expression of protease genes in the midgut of blood-fed mosquitoes using RNAi approaches. This NIH funded research requires an experienced research technician with a desire to learn new methodologies and contribute to studies aimed at developing novel approaches to vector control. The lab performs basic biochemical and molecular genetic research on laboratory strains of Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens mosquitoes, both of which can function as disease vectors in the wild. The research focus in the lab is biomedical rather than entomological.
