Research Scientist 3 (Analytical Chemistry) Vacancy ID 228493
Applications due 11/23/26
A Research Scientist 3 is needed to manage the Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry section of the Laboratory of Organic Analytical Chemistry (LOAC) to ensure continuity of critical public health services, maintain laboratory certification, and support increasing workload demands. The laboratory utilizes complex and highly technical instrumentation, including gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. These methods require direct supervision, hands-on troubleshooting, and data interpretation by staff with specialized training and experience. The Research Scientist will provide supervision of laboratory staff and operational oversight which includes the research and analysis of environmental samples using a variety of techniques and instrumentation. The GC/MS section of LOAC is critical to the Wadsworth Center’s public health mission and regulatory compliance by providing testing of organic contaminants such as volatiles, semi volatiles, and pesticides in environmental samples.
