Full Time Biodefense information

What is the difference between Full Time Biodefense vs Full Time Microbiologist?

AspectFull Time BiodefenseFull Time Microbiologist
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in biology, microbiology, or related fields; security clearances often preferredBachelor's or higher in microbiology, biology, or related fields; certifications like ASM are common
Work EnvironmentGovernment agencies, defense labs, research facilities focused on national securityResearch labs, healthcare, environmental agencies, academic institutions
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily government and defense sectorsHealthcare, research, environmental, and academic sectors

Full Time Biodefense roles focus on protecting national security against biological threats, often requiring security clearances. Full Time Microbiologists work across various sectors, conducting research and diagnostics. While both roles involve microbiology expertise, biodefense emphasizes security and defense applications, whereas microbiology covers broader scientific research and healthcare roles.

How to get a job in biodefense?

To get a job in biodefense, candidates typically need a background in biological sciences, public health, or related fields, along with relevant experience or research in biodefense or biosecurity. Earning advanced degrees, such as a master's or Ph.D., and obtaining certifications like the Certified Biological Safety Professional (CBSP) can improve prospects. Familiarity with government agencies, security protocols, and laboratory safety standards is also beneficial.

What can you do with a full time biodefense degree?

A full-time biodefense degree prepares individuals for careers in public health, government agencies, research institutions, and private sector organizations focused on biosecurity, disease prevention, and emergency response. Graduates can work as biodefense analysts, biosafety officers, emergency management specialists, or in roles involving biological threat assessment and policy development, often requiring knowledge of microbiology, epidemiology, and security protocols.

Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Texas Biomed is searching for an exceptional postdoctoral scientist to study the consequences of genetic variation in pedigreed primate populations. The position will be based in the Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC) Colony Management Unit, which supports and advises the SNPRC on its nonhuman primate (NHP) genomics resources and research activities.
Over the last 55 years, Texas Biomed has developed several large, pedigreed NHP colonies, including baboons, rhesus macaques, and marmosets. Animals within these pedigrees have been extensively characterized at both the genetic and phenotypic levels. The successful applicant will work closely with a team of investigators to conduct population and statistical genetic analyses, support the genetic characterization of NHP colonies, and develop breeding strategies to maintain genetic diversity.
THE ROLE:
  • Conduct scientific research under the direct of another scientist with more senior rank.
  • Participate in seminars and scientific meetings appropriate to field of interest.
  • Prepare or assist in the preparation of grant and contract applications.
  • Prepare or assist in preparation of material for publication.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE:
Required: A doctoral degree and demonstrated experience working with next-generation sequencing data, including genomic, transcriptomic, or epigenetic data, as well as statistical or population genetic analysis.
Preferred: Experience with non-human primate genetics and genomics is highly desirable. Candidates with a strong bioinformatics background and proficiency in scientific programming languages such as R, Python, or C++ are especially encouraged to apply.
Additional Opportunity: Highly qualified candidates may be considered for a Staff Scientist position.
For additional information, please contact Dr. Ian Cheeseman ( ianc@txbiomed.org ).
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU:
  • Enjoy an employee-centered culture grounded in open communication, empowerment, and trust. We believe in working hard and having fun, offering 100+ culture events each year to bring our team together and keep the energy strong!
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage for you and your family-including pet insurance options.
  • Competitive employer-funded retirement plan with 6% contributions starting on day one, increasing with years of service.
  • Generous paid time off, including 14 paid holidays and a paid Winter Recess (from the last week of December through New Year's).
  • Paid time off for short-term illness and mental wellness, helping you take the time you need when life happens.
  • Volunteer Time Off (VTO) to encourage giving back to the community.
  • Paid parental leave to support you and your growing family.
  • Flexible work arrangements that support a strong work-life balance.
  • On-site medical clinic, wellness incentives, and prescription support programs designed to make care more accessible and affordable.
  • On-site fitness center and wellness programs to help you stay active and healthy.
