Biological Scientist III
About The Position
Animal Related Experiments and Breeding Colony Maintenance Develop novel computational approaches and analytical tools as required to achieve and maintain line specific breeding programs Design and direct ELISA testing for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin, to include oversight of technicians performing testing, review and interpretation of results, as it relates to breeding protocols Design and develop dose escalation studies involving live specimens under controlled surroundings and handle administration of drug treatments in accordance with IACUC protocols Collect, dissect, examine and interpret results of murine tissue and organ harvest. Develop, organize and conduct FLOW analysis and data interpretation. Provide intellectual input as to cloning strategies utilized in generation of unique plasmids and adenovector viruses. Isolate and maintain cultures of bacteria IACUC or IBC Clerical/Administrative Duties Develop and maintain IBC and IACUC protocol submissions, revisions and amendments Create novel organization strategy for maintenance of sample inventory for multiple animal colonies, to include conferring/collaborating with UF Information Technology in evaluating new database systems, create or modify web-based tools and test potentially new software to provide statistical and computational tools for development of statistics models Manage laboratory teams, monitor and direct scientific efforts relating to murine colonies. Review laboratory team reports and proposals for accuracy and adherence to IACUC policies and regulations. Managerial duties Supervise other scientists, undergraduate students, and volunteers in the laboratory Coordinate experiments involving live animals that will undergo exposures, treatment and procedures in collaboration with other research groups on campus Monitor experiments involving live animals and document weekly parameters related to exposure / treatment delivery, animal weight and well-being Interact and coordinate with off-campus collaborators samples shipments, common on-line meetings, and in-person visits Prepare a quarterly report on the performance of the scientists, students, and volunteers under direct supervision.
