Conducts biological experiments under direction of management. Performs structured work assignments.
Extracts information from existing databases or literature and prepares information for biological analysis.
Conducts research and testing on basic and applied principles of microbial, plant, human, and animal life, including origin, anatomy, and function of biological systems in both simple and complex settings. Collects and studies biological data to focus on structure, function, behavior, and tailored application. Completes technical evaluations and/or assessments of biologics, biological mechanisms, or biological properties.
Specializes in Microbiology: Investigates the growth, structure, development, physiology, and other characteristics of microscopic organisms to include at both the molecular and cellular level, as well as their ecology and function in mixed communities.
Genetics, Molecular/Cellular Biology: Studies and modifies the genetic system of organisms and singular and/or multi-cellular organisms.
Understanding and engineering the function of an organism and humans at the genetic level including the expression of those genes into functioning RNAs and proteins and response to intracellular and extracellular stimuli.
Virology: Study of viruses; Could include, but not limited to submicroscopic, parasitic particles of genetic material contained in a protein coat and virus-like agents.
