About the position
This role covers responsibilities in three main areas: the Sample Handling and the Molecular Biology Laboratories. Applicants flex across both areas as well as Data Analysis. The Lab Scientists are responsible for all process stages from arrival of human assessment specimens (saliva) at the sample handling labs to the transfer of virally inactivated samples to the adjacent molecular biology labs. This work is performed in the Biological Safety Level 2 (BSL2) containment facilities with appropriate PPE. The work in Molecular Biology Laboratories consists of all process stages from fully automated RNA extraction and RT-PCR workflows, data analysis and delivery of PCR based results. This work is performed at Biological Safety Level 1 (BSL1) laboratory with appropriate PPE. Applicants should be comfortable performing this process while using PPE.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include: visually inspecting specimens for packaging integrity (correct intact number of barrier layers, no evidence of leakage/spillage); assessment suitability (e.g., rejecting samples not properly labelled, containing foreign matter, incorrect volumes etc.); ensuring they are accounted for on the specimen manifest; following inspection, scanning into LIMS system; and transfer to racks for further processing in suitably contained liquid handling automation. Tube to plate transfer, sample lysis and inactivation will be performed on the automation, and once completed the plates will be transferred to the adjacent molecular biology laboratories. On occasion this process may be run manually requiring experience with manual pipetting. The operation of Beckman I series robotics to perform automated magnetic bead RNA extraction procedures; tracking samples through the LIMS system; RT-PCR reaction setup including manual pipetting as well as automated plate preparation using benchtop automation equipment; setting up molecular assays on qPCR instruments; analysis of results and transference to Data/QC analysts for subsequent downstream analysis and data reporting. Individuals will receive full technical and safety training for this whole process which will be performed to strictly defined COVID-19 laboratory SOPs.
