    Ability to write clear documentation, perform administrative duties, and research protocol maintenance related to research studies and/or scientific/engineering projects.
    Ability to interpret and determine validity of data and check own work.
    Ability to communicate, liaise, and work with staff, students, faculty, and outside vendors and collaborators. Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology or related field with 3+ years of hands-on experience with anaerobic bacterial culture strongly preferred.

    Experience collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data from microbiological characterization assays including impedance flow cytometry for cell viability, aerobic/anaerobic plating for contamination detection, MALDI Biotyper plus 16S Sanger sequencing for strain identification, and metagenomic sequencing for strain purity assessment.
