About The Position
The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) is a public health laboratory whose mission is to improve and protect the human condition by providing accurate and precise testing, service, research, and education. The WSLH vision is to be a global leader in improving quality of life through the advancement of science-based public, environmental and occupational health laboratory practice, and policy. WSLH provides essential laboratory support in accordance with the public health goals of the state and the Wisconsin Division of Health Services (WDHS). Somewhat unique to WSLH is its inclusion in a public university. WSLH resides within the University of Wisconsin-Madison, School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH), and benefits greatly from this valuable partnership. Within WSLH, the Communicable Disease Division (CDD) performs many core functions of a public health laboratory, including disease prevention, control, and surveillance, integrated data management, reference and specialized testing, food safety, laboratory improvement and regulation, policy development, public health preparedness and response, training and education, and partnerships and communication. CDD performs over 275 clinical diagnostic and surveillance tests in support of WDHS, Wisconsin clinical laboratories, other state and regional public health laboratories and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDD is a national and regional reference center for advanced molecular diagnostics as well as several pathogens of public health concern, such as Influenza, antimicrobial resistant organisms, vaccine-preventable diseases, and gastrointestinal pathogens (bacterial, parasitic, and viral). CDD performs a wide breadth of moderate and high complexity testing and analyses in Bacteriology, Virology, Serology, Mycobacteriology, Parasitology, Bioinformatics, and pre-and post-analytic support units. We invite you to become a part of this leading public health laboratory and world-class University with this important position in Parasitology and potentially other areas of CDD.
