Job Summary - Why you’ll love this position

Job Location: This position will be located at 101 N. Chestnut St. Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Why you’ll love this position:

The Missouri State Public Health Laboratory is seeking motivated scientists to join our mission of protecting public health. Whether you are an aspiring professional looking to build a foundation in high-complexity testing or an experienced specialist ready to lead method validations, this role offers a clear path for technical growth. The selected candidate will be placed in the appropriate classification depending on their skills and experience. You will work in a state-of-the-art facility, mastering advanced instrumentation and identifying high-consequence pathogens that directly impact statewide health. If you are a detail-oriented problem solver who thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment and values the highest standards of scientific integrity, you will find a rewarding career here where your work truly saves lives.

The salary indicated represents a base pay rate. If the individual selected or the position is eligible for a pay differential (e.g., shift, security, or years of service), it will be added to the total compensation in your paycheck. A pay differential does not raise your base pay.

Responsibilities - What you’ll do

Perform Specialized Testing: Conduct high-complexity diagnostic testing on clinical and environmental samples, including high-consequence pathogens.
Maintain Advanced Equipment: Operate and calibrate sophisticated laboratory instrumentation, performing routine maintenance and identifying technical malfunctions to ensure reliable results.
Validate Scientific Data: Review raw data and results within the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to ensure accuracy and compliance before reports are released to our partners.
Support Quality Excellence: Document daily quality control checks and monitor environmental conditions to meet stringent CLIA, ISO 17025, and CAP regulatory standards.
Assist with Method Innovation: Participate in the validation of new testing platforms and laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) to keep Missouri at the forefront of diagnostic technology.
Collaborate and Train: Engage in peer-to-peer training and, at the senior level, provide technical mentorship, perform competency assessments, and coordinate daily team workflows.
Consult and Engage: Provide guidance to external partners on specimen collection and test interpretation, with opportunities to participate in professional working groups or federal grant projects.
Other duties as assigned

Qualifications - All you need for success Minimum Qualifications:

Laboratory Scientist: Bachelor’s degree and 0-1 year of relevant experience. (Substitutions may be allowed.)
Senior Laboratory Scientist: Bachelor’s degree and 2-5 years of relevant experience. (Substitutions may be allowed.)

Lack of post‐secondary education will not be used as the sole basis denying consideration to any applicant.
