- Provide training and supervision to laboratory technicians as necessary.
- Prepare detailed reports and manuscripts for submission to scientific journals.
- Perform additional duties as assigned by the supervisor, which may include mandatory training.
- Work closely with the NHRC team to establish and visit surveillance sites, conducting field sample collection for environmental and vector samples.
- Adhere to standard operating procedures while performing molecular biology-related experiments, including total nucleic acid purification, cDNA conversion, sequencing library preparation, and next-generation sequencing.
Assigned Lead:
- May recommend hiring, disciplinary actions, and starting salaries; provide input on employee performance evaluations.
Qualifications:
Education and Experience:
- Doctorate Degree required, preferably in molecular biology, entomology, or microbiology.
- Minimum of 2-5 years of relevant experience required.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
- Proficient in complex scientific procedures and techniques.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Strong troubleshooting abilities for technical procedures.
- Capability to work independently and supervise others.
- Experience with next-generation sequencing technologies, such as Oxford Nanopore and/or Illumina systems; familiarity with various bioinformatic approaches for high-throughput sequencing data analysis.
- Previous experience with high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies is highly desirable.
- U.S. Citizenship required; ability to obtain and maintain a T3 Secret Clearance.
Physical Capabilities:
- This position involves the use of chemicals and potential exposure to infectious agents.
Chemicals:
- Includes ethanol and other chemicals used in nucleic acid extraction and sequencing library preparation.
Infectious Agents:
- Common infectious agents from environmental water and soil samples, such as E. coli; tick-borne pathogens, including rickettsial species, due to field collection of tick samples.
Work Environment:
- Primarily based in a laboratory setting.
Compensation:
- The anticipated salary range for this position is $73,800 USD to $80,000 USD annually, based on a 40-hour work week. This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary; final salary will be determined based on market analysis, experience, and education.
Some positions may require full vaccination against COVID-19, with proof of vaccination potentially required.
Employment with HJF is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, which may include contacting professional references, verifying previous employment, education, and credentials, as well as a criminal background check.
