N/A
Difficulty Of Work
Incumbent is engaged in scientific analyses that demand accuracy and demonstrated proficiency in applying laboratory analytical skills to select pertinent guidelines and formulated plans for problem solving. Projects involve many complex variables of great intricacy and the microbiologist is often called upon to analyze and identify unusual specimens/samples. Work requires considerable use of analytical judgement and technical knowledge in order to draw accurate, logical conclusions. Incumbent will also be required to develop and research new testing procedures.
Responsibility
Incumbent works independently as an expert in the Biothreat laboratory. Technical and/or detailed instruction is provided only upon request when a procedural change and/or special project necessitates it. Incumbent maintains established safety practices when working with materials that have a chemical hazard or biohazard potential. Reports are reviewed for general technical accuracy; however, tasks are performed independently. Errors in work could adversely affect the health, safety and well being of the incumbent or coworkers.
Personal Work Relationships
Incumbent works with supervisor and with other Department of Health staff such as Laboratory Safety Officer and/or external entities (e.g. local health departments, etc.) to devise and implement work procedures and information dissemination. Individual will have contact with employees and the public as a laboratory expert and in the explanation of laboratory procedures and recommendations when appropriate.
Physical Effort
The incumbent will be performing tests on potentially dangerous samples (e.g. anthrax). Because of this, safety standards are of primary importance. This position will be required to use all appropriate personal protective equipment in the designated laboratory area.
Working Conditions
The equipment can be cumbersome and awkward; the laboratory space can experience a dramatic increase in temperature. The incumbent will be required to work in these conditions and maintain a clear thought process during the testing.
