Must possess the ability to work independently, under general supervision, while executing protocols involved in the
isolation and characterization of host interactions with the unique antigen determinants of microbial carbohydrates. This
will include the ability to characterize the distinct carbohydrate capsules and coverings of unique microbes. This will also
include the development of databases and analyses tools to integrate isolates in a meaningful manner. This individual will
need to be able to investigate and implement new culture techniques as needed, implement and validate new microbial
arrays, examine serological binding to existing and newly developed arrays and use this information to define key
components of host-microbial interactions. The ability to maintain and use a microarray printer is also important. This
individual will need to possess the ability to calculate, transcribe, and analyze data using statistical techniques. May be
responsible for orienting and training new staff.


1. Possess the ability to work independently developing and implementing protocols designed to grow a wide variety of
microbes for the purpose of microarray expansion and development.
2. Use array software to initially acquire and then calculate, transcribe and analyze microarray data using advanced
statistical techniques. Develop programs capable of analyzing large data sets derived from microarray platforms.
1. Performs literature searches and helps to prepare presentations and written articles for publication.
0. In collaboration with PI or Research Manager, establishes new and modifies existing research techniques.
5. Coordinates schedule of tests and procedures.
6. Coordinates lab activities such as infection control, radiation safety, and bio-safety activities.
7. Assists in the orientation and training of new staff.
8. All other duties as assigned.
