Research Technologist 2
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary/Grade: NEX/11 Target hiring range for this position will be between be range is as be $19.89-$25.64 per hour. Offered salary will be determined by the applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data. So we have pay info: hourly range $19.89-$25.64. So we can include a Pay section with that. Schedule: Not mentioned. So no Schedule section.
We need sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe competencies?), Benefits. The instructions: Use headings for those categories. We need to decide mapping.
We have job summary paragraph: "Conducts experimental research lab work and/or assists in design of one or more specific phase(s) of entire project(s).May complete mathematical calculations, and/or computer tasks and/or assist in judging validity of data.Follows appropriate protocols, policies, procedures, regulations, Good Clinical and Good Laboratory Practices.The main research scope of Zhang lab is to understand how genetic and epigenetic factors orchestrate to facilitate blood malignancies. The candidate is expected to apply a diverse range of molecular, immunological, histological, and cellular skills and use animal models (mouse and xenograft). The intended start date for this position is on or after October 1, 2026."
That's about the role.
Responsibilities: list of specific responsibilities (the long list). We need to put them in - . The list includes many items grouped under categories: Administration, Finance, Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, Histology, Immunology, Animal Husbandry, Other, Miscellaneous. We should preserve all items. Could flatten into a single list or keep subheadings? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists or headings inside list? Probably better to keep as a flat list of responsibilities. Could also keep categories as headings inside responsibilities? But they said use
for section headings only for those specific headings. So we shouldn't add extra headings. So we will just list each responsibility as
- . Ensure we capture all.
Responsibilities list from text:
- Following protocols, designs, sets-up and conducts basic experiments.
- Analyzes and troubleshoots protocols and data obtained from individual experiments and recommends alternatives and suggestions to improve processes, validity and/or accuracy.
- Using a fully functioning level of skill, completes the following activities
Then subcategories:
Administration:
- Maintains detailed records of results which may include collecting, extracting & entering data.
- Manipulates, interprets &/or presents results.
- Prepares charts & graphs for presentations & publications.
- Performs scientific literature searches in support of research.
- Completes portions of grant applications, manuscripts & publications.
Finance:
- Tracks & summarizes lab supply expenses.
- Verifies accuracy of invoices.
- Orders &/or maintains inventory of reagent, mice &/or lab supplies.
Molecular Biology:
- DNA, RNA, Protein isolation, purification and expression
- Southern, Northern, Western blotting
- PCR, RT-PCR
- Plasmid preparation
- Cloning, mapping and sequencing of DNA
- Recombinant virus production and purification
Cellular Biology:
- Cell culture, cell isolation
- Functional studies
- Transfection
Histology:
- Tissue fixation/processing: embedding, preparation of blocks and sectioning, staining
- Immunohistochemistry
- Microscopy
Immunology:
- Flow cytometry
- ELISA, Elispot assay
- Cytokine assay
- Antibody production and purification
Animal Husbandry:
- Breeding and screening transgenic mice
- Dissections
- Blood collection
- Surgical procedures
- Database management of colony
Other (please Specify):
- Assistance in lab management duties including acquiring quotes and purchases
Miscellaneous:
- Performs other duties as assigned.
We need to include all these as list items. Could keep the category headings as plain text inside
- ? Might be okay but they'd be not list items. Better to keep them as
- with the category label maybe bold? But we cannot add extra tags beyond
- ? We can include inside
- . The instruction didn't forbid other tags. Safer to keep as plain text with category label as part of the item. Eg:
- Administration: Maintains detailed records of results which may include collecting, extracting & entering data.
etc.
We'll produce a flat list.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: (Education, experience, and any other certifications or clearances) Successful completion of a full 4-year course of study in an accredited college or university leading to a bachelor's or higher degree in a scientific major or related; OR appropriate combination of education and experience.
We can put that as a under Requirements heading.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: (Education and experience) A bachelor degree in biological sciences related major with at least two years of prior wet-lab experience.
We can put that under Qualifications heading.
Skills: Minimum Competencies and Preferred Competencies. We can combine into Skills section. The Minimum Competencies: Demonstrated laboratory experience in molecular biology, cellular biology and mouse handling; Demonstrated ability to follow detailed instructions as required by research protocols; Demonstrated computer skills, including spreadsheets and basic computations; Attention to detail and accurate record keeping; Ability to work independently and in a team environment; Manual dexterity.
Preferred Competencies: Basic laboratory skills including demonstrated ability to perform math and chemistry calculations. The candidate is expected to be capable of using pipettors (including serological pipettors), following protocols to make buffers, assemble PCR or other molecular reactions; capable of scale-up/down the existing protocol according to reaction numbers; demonstrated ability on mouse handling is highly desired. It is also expected that the candidate will have a positive attitude at work and have excellent work ethics. The candidate is also anticipated to be capable of working with flexibility in hours and deadlines. Excellent bookkeeping skills (especially attention to deal and organization skills) and communication skills are essential for this position.
We'll put these as a list under Skills.
Benefits: Already described: health, dental, vision, disability, life insurance; paid vacation and holidays; paid medical/sick and parental leave; tuition benefits for employee and dependents; pre-tax and flex spending accounts for commuting and dependent care; generous retirement savings options; wellness programs. Also mention links but we should remove navigation? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits paragraph includes links to learn more. Those are navigation? Possibly we should keep the description but remove the URLs? The instruction says remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. The links are likely navigation. Safer to omit the URLs and just keep the description of benefits. So we will list benefits as a
- each benefit.
Pay: We have salary range $19.89-$25.64 per hour. Also mention that offer determined by education etc. We'll include that as a
under Pay heading.
Schedule: Not present, so omit.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title. Not needed.
We must not include any filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific range.
