Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.
The Division of Research Technical Services within the Emory National Primate Research Center at Emory University is currently seeking a full time Research Specialist to join our department. We are a team that conducts the hands-on animal portion of the research projects for numerous scientists. We collect specimens, such as blood or bone marrow, from non-human primates, assist Veterinarians with minor surgeries and administer experimental agents. Most of the research we are involved with is HIV vaccine research, but we also conduct studies involving other ABSL2 infectious agents. None of our work is lab bench work; it is all working hands on with the animals.
If you are someone with experience with specimen collections, administering drugs and data entry and are interested in working with a great team this is an amazing opportunity to indirectly save and change lives and make a positive impact in the science and research community.
The ideal candidate should have prior animal experience, be motivated, dependable, detail-oriented, have a positive attitude and passion for research. They should be a team player who is willing to learn on the job and collaborate with lab members and center members. Also be able to ensure the highest quality of laboratory research support and have good communication skills with co-workers, the management team, PI’s, research staff, students, and other support services.
Collaborate. Innovate. Serve. These three simple words capture what we do at EPC to help advance science and improve the health and well-being of humans and non-human primates. If you are someone with animal experience who is familiar with specimen collections this is an amazing opportunity to indirectly save and change lives and make a positive impact in the science and research community.
