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 mitochondrial genomes, why mutant versions accumulate, how quality control occurs to eliminate defective mitochondrial 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 using gene therapy. 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 may contribute to include recombinant DNA cloning, the creation of transgenic organisms, cell culture, Drosophila genetics, plant (Arabidopsis) genetics, RNA and DNA sequencing, qPCR, mouse husbandry and reproductive biology, and immunofluorescence microscopy. Primary work will be with others but may also involve independent research. Publications outlining these interests can be found at our website below.
