As a Medical Laboratory Scientist in our Clinical Pharmacokinetics Laboratory, you are responsible for performing laboratory tests that will be used for medical prognosis, diagnosis, treatment and research. You will also perform other tasks such as specimen receipt and processing and will perform tasks related to method validation and quality improvement. Our laboratory specializes in therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology testing as well as related esoteric tests. We utilize techniques such as automated immunoassays, HPLC, LC-MS/MS, radiobioassay, and ELISA. Experience with LC-MS/MS is highly desired but not required. Good communication skills are a must as daily interaction with clinicians should be expected. We seek an independent and proactive individual with a desire to learn new techniques.
