WELCOME TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND MOLECULAR TOXICOLOGY
The integrated mission of the Department of Environmental & Molecular Toxicology (EMT) is to educate students in the toxicological sciences, to conduct research on the effects of chemicals and other agents on humans and the environment and to engage the public through extension and outreach. The EMT Department focuses on creating, disseminating, and applying new knowledge to enhance the treatment and prevention of human disease and to ensure the protection of the environment and public health.
EMT Open Position
Research Associate: Water Quality Toxicology Lab Manager
Full Consideration Date: August 17, 2024
The Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology invites applications for a full-time 1.00 FTE, 12-month, fixed term Research Associate: Water Quality Toxicology Lab Manager position. Reappointment is at the discretion of the Department Head.
Environmental and Molecular Toxicology is a department within the College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS). The department’s primary function is research, with extension activities and student instruction. EMT has 16 professorial faculty and a support staff of over 50 academic and classified employees. EMT’s mission is to undertake basic and applied research in the biological and chemical sciences, particularly as they relate to problems of agricultural importance. Activities of the department are supported by funds from the Agricultural Experiment Station (AES), grants, contracts, the Extension Service, and the instructional budget of the CAS Department members are engaged in research on the analysis of pesticide and other chemical residues; biochemical toxicology and drug metabolism; lipid, nutritional, membrane and trace element biochemistry; pesticide and xenobiotic chemistry; plant biochemistry and the molecular biology of plant development; and mechanisms of DNA repair and recombination. Three extension specialists deal with field problems and education in toxicology and environmental chemistry.

This position will lead and support environmental research and service designated to solve environmental chemistry and toxicology issues, especially for environmental contaminants utilizing various extractions techniques, chromatography, and mass spectrometry. This position will also develop new ideas and methods in research, including effect-directed analysis for the detection and identification of emerging water contaminants.
Duties will include performing and assisting in the performance of field work and laboratory analysis, preparing samples for analysis, maintaining instruments, analytical result and quality control documentation, general group and laboratory operation tasks, training and supervising students and other workers, as well as co-author publications, manuscripts and may present at regional and national associations.
