WORKING CONDITIONS This is a research-intensive position that requires work within BSL-2 laboratory environments, core facilities, and animal facilities. The role involves handling biological specimens (human and mouse), infectious materials, chemicals, and laboratory equipment. The position requires comfort with working in environments that include: * Animal research facilities, including germ-free and SPF mouse colonies * Long, complex in vivo studies with time-sensitive procedures * Laboratory equipment such as biosafety cabinets, centrifuges, cryogenic freezers, flow cytometers, etc. * Exposure to standard laboratory hazards including chemicals, biological agents, and sharps (with all appropriate PPE provided) Because many experiments, particularly mouse studies-operate on biological and experimental timelines rather than strict business hours, certain procedures may occasionally require early mornings, evenings, or weekend work to maintain scientific integrity and animal welfare. This reflects the nature of translational and in-vivo research rather than an expectation of constant extended hours. Additional considerations: * Mobility between buildings on campus and access to core facilities will be required. * Occasional local travel for collaboration or sample collection may be necessary. * Extended periods of standing, lifting cages or equipment up to ~25 lbs, and repetitive manual tasks may occur during experimental work. * Strict adherence to PPE and biosafety protocols is mandatory.
