Required Scientist (Biosurveillance and Molecular Biology) to provide laboratory support within a Department of Defense laboratory in Frederick, MD.
MAJOR RESPONSIBILITES:
- Provide expertise in epitope mapping on polyclonal humoral responses to pathogens using phage domain programmable arrays, B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire characterization in vaccinated or infected animals or human subjects, and advanced Immunological concepts.
- Develop and improve animal models for Biological Select Agents and Toxins (BSATs). Characterize animal genomic background (e.g., Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) expression, mitochondrial DNA), develop species-specific reagents, and use comparative genomics to evaluate the model compared with humans.
- Generate agnostic tools to evaluate the animal model and human samples with the same assays.
- Prepare or contribute to technical reports and manuscripts for publication, and present data upon request at an average of one conference per year.
- Assist in establishing extramural collaborations and contracts to augment the supported research program.
