Re: [Histonet] RE: Switching from hospital histo to Research

From:anthony@histotechexchange.com



Dear All:

If anyone out there with some leadership experience is interested in
working for an international pharmaceutical company, I have two openings
to get in above the ground floor.

The positions still entail some cutting, embedding and staining, but your
work will be mainly to direct the histologists below you and to provide
direction to the pathologists and scientists working with you, on the best
path through the range of histology procedures available. Create, document
and complete these tasks in compliance with all regulatory bodies
involved.

If you are interested in finding out more about this position, please
contact me.

Yours truly,

Anthony Williams HT (ASCP)
