Our reference laboratories make it possible for our customers to discover more with our unrelenting commitment to innovation, personalized support, guidance, and expertise, while providing the most complete and advanced menu of diagnostic tests along with technology and tools. The focus on enhancing the lives of people and pets starts with our own employees and empowering them to achieve their goals, focusing on continuous improvement, and supporting the strong collaboration and inclusiveness that exist in our team.

In This Role:

  • You will be working with incoming PCR samples in the Sample Processing Department, helping to coordinate and monitor the receipt, accessioning, tracking, storage, and disposition of these samples.
  • You will be responsible for clerical tasks in the PCR laboratory, which can include communication via email, Teams, and meetings, and running data analysis such as WIP (work in progress) reports and validity testing.
  • Maintain specimen records and ensure complete documentation throughout the testing lifecycle.
  • Support laboratory workflow processes by monitoring turnaround times, sample status, and workflow efficiency metrics.
  • Manage laboratory reports, correspondence, meeting schedules, and operational documentation.
  • Assist study managers with operational projects, clinical trials, compliance-related activities, and quality assurance checks
  • Investigate specimen discrepancies, missing documentation, and workflow issues and facilitate timely resolution.

What You Will Need to Succeed:

  • You must have an excellent skill set in working with computers and data entry skills, utilizing the most up-to-date programs.
  • You must have knowledge of the overall PCR testing process and timeline. Previous experience in a PCR lab would be beneficial.

  • You must have a scientific or laboratory background
  • You will be working with laboratory sample data and must be able to understand the terminology and processes

  • You are a master multi-tasker with the ability to shift priorities
  • You bring a proven track record of managing administrative tasks in a fast - paced environment and the ability to self-manage
  • You have excellent presentation skills and know how to prepare material for meeting agendas

What You Can Expect From Us:

  • Hourly pay rate targeting: $ 22 / hr
  • Opportunity for annual cash bonus
  • Opportunity for performance-based annual merit increase
  • Health / Dental / Vision Benefits Day - One
  • 5% matching 401k
