openness, freedom and belonging make it a special place for
students, faculty and staff.
The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world's
leading institutions of higher education, distinguished by its
combination of internationally recognized academic and research
excellence; the transformative opportunity it provides to a large
and diverse student body; its public mission and commitment to
equity and social justice; and its roots in the California
experience, animated by such values as innovation, questioning the
status quo, and respect for the environment and nature. Since its
founding in 1868, Berkeley has fueled a perpetual renaissance,
generating unparalleled intellectual, economic and social value in
California, the United States and the world.
We are looking for equity-minded applicants who represent the full

Departmental Overview
The Department of Molecular & Cell Biology (MCB) is home to
undergraduate and graduate academic programs as well as Faculty
Research performed by faculty organized in five divisions:
The teaching and research activities of the Department of Molecular
and Cell Biology (MCB) concern the molecular structures and
processes of cellular life and their roles in the function,
reproduction, and development of living organisms. This agenda
covers a broad range of specialized disciplines, including
biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, structural biology,
genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, developmental
biology, tumor biology, microbiology, immunology, pathogenesis and
neurobiology. The types of living organisms from which the
departmental faculty draws its working materials are as diverse as
its disciplinary specializations, ranging from viruses and microbes
through plants, roundworms, annelids, arthropods, and mollusks to
fish, amphibia, and mammals. The faculty of the department is
organized into five divisions: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology;
Cell and Developmental Biology; Genetics, Genomics and Development;
Neurobiology; and Immunology and Pathogenesis.
The Departments of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) and Integrative
Biology (IB) together are among the largest academic departments at
UC Berkeley. By several measures (including number of faculty and
students, budget, and assigned square feet), these departments are
larger than many UCB colleges and schools. The two departments
represent over 186 faculty FTE (including Adjuncts, Professors of
the Graduate School, active emeriti and 15 HHMI professors); 150
postdocs and other research positions; 375 graduate students; 80
department staff members; and 8 recharge centers. Financial
resources include approximately $51M in annual extramural funding
(which accounts for over half of the total sponsored research
awards in the College of Letters & Science) and over $46M other
fund sources. The department has 1,800 declared undergraduate
majors (the largest majors on the Berkeley campus) and a total
annual enrollment in classes of -20,000. Department personnel are
currently housed in seven buildings located in three widely
separated parts of the campus.
This position is for a SRA III who will provide a variety of
support and research functions within the lab. Specifically, in
direct collaboration with the Principal Investigator, this person
will be performing research on the genetics and molecular biology
of RNA binding proteins in Drosophila, including experiments
involving the generation, genetic analysis, molecular, and
phenotypic characterization of genome-engineered CRISPR mutants and
phiC31 transgenes. In addition to managing necessary crosses for
current research, this person will organize and maintain all fly
lines from previous publications and other relevant alumni
stocks.
