Incumbent will also be responsible for the documentation of all quality control and quality assurance activities according to CLIA regulations. In addition, this position may cross-train in other areas of the lab that may include molecular, microbiological, viral, serological, and other techniques to support routine testing and provide backup capacity.
Essential Duties/Responsibilities:
Incumbent will have in-depth knowledge and ability in the area of microbiology and molecular biology and is able to perform laboratory associated assays or the ability to learn these techniques upon successful completion of proficiency testing. Representative duties include:
Conducting examinations of samples and/or reference samples for analyses such as but not limited to, molecular detection or isolation and identification of microorganisms/toxins or their antigens/nucleic acids.
Strictly follow the laboratory's procedures for specimen handling and processing, test analyses, reporting and maintaining records of patient test results.
Extraction of nucleic acids from specimens, isolates, and samples via a variety of manual and automated methods;
Utilize molecular techniques such as, but not limited to, PCR, sequencing, MALDI-TOF, and WGS;
Evaluate, interpret, and validate laboratory results and reports findings.
Maintain laboratory record system of submitted samples and specimens and their possible referral.
Conduct quality control checks on laboratory methods, materials, and equipment in strict adherence to the laboratory's quality control policies.
Maintain an inventory of laboratory supplies and order as needed to ensure testing needs are met.
Assist in preparations of epidemiological and/or statistical reports from data compiled on a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis.
Maintain competency in all trained areas.
Perform all related work as required.
Testing personnel responsibilities (493.1495 Standard):
The testing personnel are responsible for specimen processing, test performance and for reporting test results.
(a) Each individual performs only those high complexity tests that are authorized by the laboratory director and require a degree of skill commensurate with the individual's education, training or experience, and technical abilities.
(b) Each individual performing high complexity testing must—
(1) Follow the laboratory's procedures for specimen handling and
processing, test analyses, reporting and maintaining records of patient
test results;
(2) Maintain records that demonstrate that proficiency testing samples are
tested in the same manner as patient specimens;
(3) Adhere to the laboratory's quality control policies, document all quality
control activities, instrument and procedural calibrations and
maintenance performed;
(4) Follow the laboratory's established policies and procedures whenever
test systems are not within the laboratory's established acceptable levels
of performance;
(5) Be capable of identifying problems that may adversely affect test
performance or reporting of test results and either must correct the
problems or immediately notify the general supervisor, technical
supervisor, clinical consultant, or director;
(6) Document all corrective actions taken when test systems deviate from
the laboratory's established performance specifications; and
(7) Except as specified in paragraph (c) of this section, if qualified under §
493.1489(b)(5), perform high complexity testing only under the onsite,
direct supervision of a general supervisor qualified under § 493.1461.
(c) Exception. For individuals qualified under § 493.1489(b)(5), who were performing
high complexity testing on or before January 19, 1993, the requirements of

Difficulty of Work:
Incumbent is engaged in scientific analyses that demand accuracy and demonstrated proficiency in applying laboratory analytical skills to select pertinent guidelines and formulated plans for problem solving. Projects involve many complex variables of great intricacy and the microbiologist is often called upon to analyze and identify unusual specimens/samples. Work requires use of analytical judgment and technical knowledge in order to draw accurate, logical conclusions. Incumbent will also be required to develop and research new testing procedures.
Responsibility:
Incumbent works independently as an expert in the assigned area. Technical and/or detailed instruction is provided only upon request when necessitated by a procedural change and/or special project.
