Job Description:
The purpose of this program is to provide professional personnel to the line organization to assist them in meeting their mission objectives.These positions include administrative staff associates and technologists and are identified in the Division’s Workforce Plan. These assignments are typically for up to a one-year period, with the option at management's discretion to serve up to one additional one-year assignment.
Job Summary
We are looking for a motivated individual with a B.S. in Biology or a related discipline. This individual will conduct research and development activities targeted towards the culture-free identification and characterization of known and unknown pathogens in clinical samples using next-generation sequencing, data analysis, and bioinformatics.
Applies integrated technical judgment--which requires using the scientific method to recognize and formulate problems, to collect data through observation and experimentation, and to formulate and test hypotheses--to anticipate, innovate, and deliver solutions to Sandia National Laboratories missions. Roots the work in the fundamentals of science and engineering while applying a deep understanding of engineering and scientific principles. Creates and applies scientific theories and laws and engineering methods used within scientific and engineering disciplines to develop or demonstrate new designs, concepts, materials, machines, products, processes, or systems. Uses physical and computational simulation, analysis, and evaluation as inherent activities of development. Plans, conducts, and executes Sandia's science and engineering programs within the spectrum of fundamental research, development, or demonstration.
Studies the chemical composition or physical principles of living cells and organisms, their electrical and mechanical energy, and related phenomena. Studies the growth, structure, development, and general characteristics of microorganisms. Isolates and makes cultures of microorganisms to identify them and to observe their action upon living tissues and organic matter. Makes chemical analysis of substances such as acids, alcohol, and enzymes. Studies the origin, relationship, development, anatomy, functions, and chemical processes of a living organism. Analyzes materials to determine their toxic or nontoxic properties, binding, and efficacy. Examines and conducts research on chemical aspects of cells and cell division.
Primary Job Duties
Plans, conceives, conducts, or manages research and development for Sandia's customers and sponsors.
Directs systematic study toward a fuller knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts, and discovers new approaches to achieve goals.
Creates new understandings and capabilities by using the scientific method's hypothesis, test, and evaluation techniques; critical review; or similar engineering research and development methods.
Initiates, designs, develops, executes, and evaluates new processes, products, or systems through basic and applied research.
Uses engineering principles to research, design, or develop structures, instruments, machines, experiments, processes, systems, theories, or technologies; to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions.
Undertakes development and possible technology transfer of solutions, products, principles or technology.
Undertakes creative work, making systematic use of investigation or experimentation, to discover or revise knowledge of reality, and uses this knowledge to devise new applications.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
Advanced technical degree or significant equivalent experience.
Technical knowledge and competencies appropriate to the position.
Thorough knowledge of and applied experience with scientific and engineering methods and with the discipline's standards for the ethical conduct of research.
Thorough knowledge of and experience with designing, planning, and executing research, design, and development projects.
Demonstrated knowledge of and experience with implementing Sandia policies affecting research, design, and development activities, projects, or initiatives.
Demonstrated ability to team across disciplines.
Minimum Qualifications
The candidate must have demonstrated expertise in general nucleic acid purification and analysis methods such as molecular cloning, PCR, sample prep, and NGS.
Desired Qualifications
Experience in data analysis and basic bioinformatics is desired.
Security Clearance
No clearance required.
This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE)-granted security clearance.
Sandia will conduct a pre-employment background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement record checks, and employment and education verifications. Further, employees in New Mexico must pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to the work site. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, rendering the inability to perform the duties assigned and resulting in termination of employment.
If hired without a clearance, and one subsequently becomes required or you bid on positions that require a DOE-granted security clearance, a pre-processing background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement record and credit checks, and employment and education verifications may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation. Applicants for DOE-granted security clearances must be U.S. citizens and be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate DOE security clearance as required for the position.
Benefits
At Sandia you will receive many benefits as a valued employee of a premier national multi-program engineering and science research laboratory. In our Total Rewards package you will enjoy competitive pay, great benefits, a stimulating, positive environment and learning opportunities that will help build your career.
