Overview Join a leading clinical transfusion and cellular-therapy laboratory supporting diagnostic testing, blood-component manufacturing, and research. This role blends hands-on serologic and molecular testing, inventory and quality management, and technical training in a regulated, team-focused environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical testing using automated and manual methods, including ABO/Rh typing, direct antiglobulin testing, antibody screening and identification, RBC phenotyping, elutions, crossmatches, and isohemagglutinin titers.
• Execute specialized serologic and molecular procedures for diagnostic and research applications.
• Identify and resolve factors affecting test accuracy (interfering substances, disease states, method limitations); troubleshoot instruments and test methods and document corrective actions.
• Process whole blood into components (e.g., frozen plasma, leukoreduced RBCs, buffy coats), apply pathogen-reduction technologies as appropriate, and ensure accurate labeling per GMP and regulatory requirements.
• Review donor testing results, manage blood inventory, coordinate procurement or import of components, and perform component modifications such as irradiation when indicated.
• Operate, calibrate, and maintain laboratory equipment; perform complex troubleshooting with minimal supervision.
• Participate in quality assurance programs and proficiency testing; identify procedural gaps and recommend/process improvements.
• Create, review, and update standard operating procedures and support process-improvement initiatives.
• Provide technical training and mentorship to fellows, visiting scientists, students, and laboratory staff.
• Follow safe work practices, use appropriate PPE, and comply with infection-control and hazardous-material protocols.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Medical/Clinical Laboratory Science, Biology, or related discipline.
• Minimum 1 year of blood bank/transfusion experience required (3 years preferred).
• Certification (e.g., MLS/MT(ASCP) or equivalent) preferred.
• Proficiency with automated and manual serologic methods and familiarity with molecular assays.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and time-management skills.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Competence with MS Office (including Teams) or equivalent collaboration tools.
