Laboratory Supervisor, Virology & Immunology Lab
College of Veterinary Medicine

The College of Veterinary Medicine invites applicants to apply for the position of Laboratory Supervisor, located in the Virology and Immunology Lab of the Biomedical and Diagnostic Sciences Department. The Laboratory Supervisor is responsible for directing, coordinating, and maintaining daily operations of the Virology & Immunology diagnostic laboratory units.

Laboratory Supervisors work closely with personnel of varying positions and rank, including fellow laboratory staff, individual faculty Laboratory Directors, the UTCVM Director of Diagnostic Laboratory Services, UTCVM Computer Operations personnel, the UTCVM Director of Referral Services, and personnel delivering laboratory specimens (including couriers and clinical faculty, staff, and students). Laboratory Supervisor responsibilities include: direct supervision and training of all laboratory personnel; oversight of laboratory safety and ensuring compliance with College and University safety policies and regulations; oversight and implementation of laboratory quality management procedures in all phases of testing; maintenance of laboratory instrumentation, equipment, and inventory; test cost analysis and billing of laboratory services; and laboratory customer service functions.
