A Weekend Research job typically involves conducting research tasks during weekends, which can include data collection, literature reviews, experiments, or analysis depending on the field.

To manage these challenges, it’s important to plan tasks ahead, utilize digital collaboration tools, and communicate clearly with team members about progress and needs before the weekend. Additionally, setting clear objectives and prioritizing tasks can help ensure efficient use of time, allowing for thorough and high-quality research even when support is limited.

* Writing, grantsmanship, and conference presentation training.

* Guidance for American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) or American College of Animal Welfare (ACAW) board certification, including structured support for residency pathways or board-certification under alternate experience route.

* Guidance to become board-certified by American Board of Toxicology

* Outreach, communication, and leadership skill development.

Position Details:

* Renewable, multi-year appointment contingent upon performance and funding.
