Specialized experience is defined as demonstrated experience:
1. Experience with laboratory safety protocols, including the safe handling, storage, and/or disposal of hazardous chemicals, as well as proper operation of potentially dangerous laboratory instruments to ensure a safe working environment; AND
2. Experience with fundamental genetics laboratory instrumentation, such as micropipettors, centrifuges, and automated liquid-handling systems, including the ability to calibrate, operate, and maintain these tools during routine and specialized laboratory procedures.
If qualifying solely on Specialized Experience, you must MEET ALL statements above.
-OR-
Education:
One full year of graduate-level education that is directly related to the work of the position (e.g., major study in fish biology, aquaculture or fish culture, limnology, ichthyology, etc.) One year of full-time graduate education is considered to be the number of credit hours that the school attended has determined to represent 1 year of full-time study. If that information cannot be obtained from the school, 18 semester hours should be considered as satisfying the 1 year of full-time study requirement.
