I have a new histologist position in research on foot-and-mouth disease and vesicular stomatitis pathogenesis work at Plum Island on the east end of Long Island, NY. I need someone to maintain a small pathology lab and do a wide variety of staining procedures from routine H&E, cryosections, immunohistochemisty, to TEM and in-situ hybridization or PCR. Wide experience would be nice but not required. I am willing to train a willing histotech.

        The East End of LI is a beautiful rural tourist area surrounded by water. Work is on Plum Island in a high containment laboratory for animal disease research, with free passenger ferry rides each day.  There are ferries from Long Island and from Old Saybrook CT.

 

Those interested should respond to the announcement advertised on the USDA, ARS web site. Look under employment opportunities (other jobs). It is advertised as a Biological Lab technician in Orient Point, NY.

 

You need to go through our personnel officer but please also e-mail me if you are interested.

This will be open for three weeks.
