In my experience, starting out part-time with the possibility of full time = part-time with rapidly dwindling hours a few months into the job. Do the math. Full time at 10 bucks an hour gets you $400 a week. 20 hrs at 14 gets you $280... Though you have to wonder about the possibilities of advancement at the bio job, and worry a bit about a position funded by grants. Tough call. Liking what you do is pretty nice though.

Really?
"Money is kinda tight for me right now (loans like a motherfucker) so it's a tough decision."
My mistake. In that case, it's hard for me to give advice without knowing advancement potential for both gigs / how valuable the experience is, etc.

In my field, experience is pretty much everything, the more you have, the more you make and the further you go. That's a major part of the reason I want to take the microbiology job. I have an idea of what I want to do for graduate school, and this job would help me with that.
Doing genetics work, altering genes, tissue and cell culture, infecting tissue with parasites and observing genetic changes in the parasite. The other job I'd be analyzing brainwave data and playing with kids/infants. Meh. Behavioral research doesn't really interest me that much.

Whatchoo studying and how far into undergrad are you? I've taken big paycuts for the sake of getting research experience before... it's a smart move you're making

I'm done with undergrad. Got my degree in biology. I want to work for about 2 years while figuring out what I want to do for grad school, contemplating a whole bunch of stuff.

If I understand correctly, the lesser pay but more hours job would be bringing in a larger ammount if cash!

Yeah, but if I get brought on full time with the job where I start part time(that pays more hourly), then I'd be making more than the job where I start full time. Confusing, right?

Do what you'll enjoy most. Few things worse than working a job you don't like. Great thing when you enjoy your work.
I'd guess it really depends how bad you really need the $$ and how you think it will turn out in the long run. But my gut tells me go with the job you will enjoy. You'll advance father doing what you love.

I just spoke with the PI in the microbio lab again. She said it's definite that the grant is coming through and I will be hired and she looks forward to working with me. I'll be getting an official job offer letter from HR within the next few days. Turns out the pay scale is about the same as the neuroscience lab. She said to call her again tomorrow afternoon for another update, but I will be working in her lab.
YAY PARASITES!
