Job Summary

This position supports grant funded work for population-based studies of COVID-19 vaccine responses and investigations linking viral exposures to chronic disease development. The applicant will work closely with the project team on the technical aspects of processing various types of blood samples (sera, plasma, dried blood spots) and running antibody detection methods.

This work is with patient personal data and the individual must understand and exemplify the ethics of confidentiality, sensitivity, and respect when communicating all study information. The applicant must be exceptionally detail-oriented, organized, and able to follow detailed protocols. This person must also be self-directed, able to excel in a team environment, know personal limitations and take initiative to ask for assistance when needed.


Organizational Status

The applicant reports to the project PI and will work primarily in an autonomous role, thus previous experience in research is critical. The position will be held at the BCCDC Public Health Laboratory. Remote work encouraged when it is possible.
