Successful candidates should be self-motivated and capable of working both as an independent scientist and as an integral member of a team of scientists.

Desired
Experience with one or more is desired: genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis tools, animal model research, clinical sample preparation and molecular diagnostics. Experience with grant proposal writing and project leadership is strongly desired.

Security Clearance
Position requires a Department of Energy (DOE)-granted Q-level security clearance to start.

This position requires an active Department of Energy (DOE)-granted security clearance before beginning the job responsibilities. If selected and you do not hold an active DOE clearance, your start date will be affected.
