[ES_JOBS_NET] Two Positions at Mote Marine Laboratory - Senior Chemist and Lab Manager

[Emily Hall]

The Chemical and Physical Ecology Program at Mote Marine Laboratory in 
Sarasota is looking to hire two positions ASAP:  1. Senior Chemist and 
2. Lab Manager. Please visit: 
https://mote.org/about/employment-opportunities/ to apply.

1. The Chemical and Physical Ecology Program (under the direction of Dr. 
Emily Hall) is seeking a Senior Chemist. General duties for the Senior 
Chemist to be performed include inorganic chemical and physical analyses 
(water/sediment quality parameters). This position will be responsible 
for running a Seal AutoAnalyzer for inorganic nutrient analyses. While 
there is possibility of some field participation, the majority of the 
position will be in the lab running analyses for nutrients (e.g. total 
and dissolved nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, silica; total 
nitrogen and phosphorus; particulate phosphorus and silica; total  
kjeldahl nitrogen). All analyses in this program are certified by The 
NELAC Institute and follow strict QA/QC guidelines. All activities are 
carried out according the Mote Marine Lab Quality Assurance Plan 
including operation and maintenance of scientific instruments and 
equipment, preparations, sample analyses, and data quality assessments. 
Proficiency is expected for work on computers, and, after initial 
training, on water quality instrumentation, navigation and safety 
equipment, balances, pH meters, and spectrophotometers, and the like. 
Emergency CPR, First Aid, and Coast Guard small vessel safety courses 
are available through the laboratory and a Senior Chemist will be 
expected to obtain these certifications within a finite period. This 
position is expected to be detail oriented, organized, and able to work 
both independently and part of a team. This position may include 
participation in field sampling (e.g. travel, operations from trucks or 
boats, occasional evening/night/weekend shifts) and sample preparation 
(e.g. extraction, filtration, preservation), as needed.
