Medical Laboratory Scientist Molecular Microbiology and Special Chemistry

The Medical Lab Scientist provides comprehensive laboratory testing for patients. The position consists of ensuring patients' laboratory results are accurate, timely and with quality. This role is a hybrid between Special Chemistry and Molecular Microbiology and will work in both areas. Molecular Microbiology performs high-complexity nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT). This role supports patient care by providing accurate and timely molecular test results for infectious diseases, transplant monitoring, respiratory pathogens, and sexually transmitted infections. Special Chemistry performs high-complexity testing using platforms such as chemiluminescence analyzers for infectious disease serology, capillary and gel electrophoresis, indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) microscopy, and immunoassay analyzers for immunosuppressive drug levels. This role will train and provide coverage and support in the core laboratory, including being part of the rotation for Stroke Response team for lab testing.
