Laboratory Specialist, Department of Environmental Sciences

 


Full Time

 

Charlottesville, VA

 


Lab Specialist employees provide technical lab support by performing complex lab and research-related tasks. They act as specialists on research methods and equipment functions specific to investigations. They have the authority to adapt methods and procedures to meet the needs of research. They are distinguished from Lab Technicians by the types and duration of assignments, as well as the skills and expertise necessary to serve as resources on non-routine problems. Lab Specialist employees perform daily activities without supervision; their longer-term assignments require greater oversight. Lab Specialist employees often train others on work processes and policies.

The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia (UVA) seeks two Lab Specialists to contribute to computational research on ocean and atmosphere biogeochemistry using data analysis, remote sensing, and numerical modeling techniques. The candidates will work directly with Professor Scott Doney in the Department of Environmental Sciences.

Preferred Experience:

Background with oceanographic or atmospheric data sets and models is preferred. Ability to use advanced statistical data analysis software, such as MATLAB, R, or SciPy; verbal and written communication abilities; ability to work as a member of a team; and ability to organize and complete tasks.


Physical Demands:
This position can spend extensive periods of time standing and squatting while conducting experiments or caring for animals. Also requires keyboarding and other bench work and animal procedures requiring fine finger manipulation.
