Job description

OPS Lab Technician/Lab Manager
Job no: 540636
Work type: Temp Full-Time
Location: Main Campus (Gainesville, FL)
Categories: Health Care Administration/Support
Department:29030101 - MD-BIOCHEMISTRY-GENERAL
Classification Title:
OPS Lab Technician/Lab Manager
Classification Minimum Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biomedical Sciences, or a related scientific field.
Job Description:
The Center for Applied Spatial Biology Research (CASBR) prepares and analyzes samples for MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), a technique that overlays spatial location onto mass spectra to reveal where molecules live inside tissue. That capability is opening new windows into cancer biology, neurodegenerative disease, and developmental biology for research teams across the university.
We're looking for one person to be both a bench scientist and the operational leader who keeps the center running. If you want to master cutting-edge instrumentation and own how a collaborative research center works, this is a rare chance to do both. Develop elite technical expertise and build real leadership experience while owning your work and using cutting-edge science in this unique dual-faceted role.
The Day-to-Day Work
This role is split roughly half hands-on science and half running the center:
  • At the Bench: Section tissue on a cryostat, prep samples (enzyme digestion/matrix application via HTX sprayers), load and monitor Bruker timsTOF flex runs, and analyze data in SciLS, packing results in Metaboscape so collaborators can make use of them.
  • Running the Center: Direct sample workflow end to end, prioritize across projects and technicians, serve as the primary liaison with collaborators, support QC and reagent prep, maintain a clean and compliant lab, and help coordinate project billing.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Ownership of day-to-day operations of the Center, ensuring that every project moves predictably from sample intake to delivered data packet.
  2. Coordination of the technician team's workflow, assigning and prioritizing work to balance throughput, quality, and competing collaborator deadlines.
  3. Drive method optimization and troubleshooting that measurably improves data quality, turnaround, or reproducibility.
  4. Establish and help enforce dependable QC and safety practices that keep results reliable and the lab audit-ready.

Expected Salary:
$20-25 per hour, commensurate with education and experience
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biomedical Sciences, or a related scientific field
Preferred:
The ideal candidate will have:
  • A master's degree in a related field
  • Hands-on experience with mass spectrometry, MSI, proteomics, metabolomics, or related analytical techniques
  • Cryosectioning, tissue prep, or histology experience
  • Familiarity with Bruker instrumentation, SciLS, Metaboscape, or similar platforms
  • Demonstrated success in juggling multiple projects and competing priorities in a collaborative setting
  • Experience supervising, coordinating, or directing technical staff
  • Strong problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Curiosity, rigor, and reliability are top qualities in the ideal candidate.

About University of Florida

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

The University of Florida is one of the top ranked public universities in the United States (ranked top 5 amongst public universities in 2023 US news and world report). It is one of only a few comprehensive universities, having medical, veterinary, dental, nursing, public health, and engineering disciplines all co-localized on the same, contiguous campus to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration. Gainesville is located in the northern region of Florida, within 1-1.5 hours of each coast, and just 1.5-2 hours to Orlando and Tampa. It is a small to medium-sized city with a low cost of living, excellent public and private schools, and southern hospitality. While Gainesville is widely recognized as the home of the Gators, it is quickly becoming known as a center for innovation and a place with a lifestyle that's comfortable for families, yet attractive for young professionals.
