The opportunity- One-year term appointment in serology lab to enable increased capacity for emergency animal disease testing, supporting responses to emergency animal disease events.
- Work closely with colleagues, managers and clients to ensure effective information transfer under a quality management framework.
- Help make a difference in the unique environment at the ACDP.
CSIRO is Australia's National Science Agency and is one of the world's largest and most successful publicly funded R&D organisations. The Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL) Business Unit (BU) is one of nine impact science business units in CSIRO. Our goal is to protect a healthy, productive, and prosperous future for Australia's animals and people by delivering world-renowned science that furthers our understanding, preparedness, and management of infectious diseases.
The Diagnosis Surveillance and Response (DSR) Program within AAHL is located at the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) facility at Geelong. The DSR program provides the diagnostics and research capability required to investigate and respond to new and emerging diseases affecting livestock and other animals. The Laboratory Diagnostic Technician position forms part of the Diagnostic Serology team within the DSR program. Lab diagnostic technicians in the serology laboratory enable increased capacity for emergency animal disease testing, thereby increasing ACDP's preparedness to respond to an emergency animal disease event.
As the Lab Diagnostic Technician, you will be responsible for the delivery of outputs across a range of quality-assured laboratory diagnostic services. In particular, the work will include disease surveillance testing for exotic and infectious diseases of veterinary significance and associated laboratory housekeeping activities. You will also assist other diagnostic teams within the program, as required. The testing conducted primarily involves the use of antibody detection techniques such as Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and virus neutralization tests (VNTs). The position works in the biologically secure laboratories at physical containment level 3.
Your duties will include:- Work in a microbiologically secure laboratory as part of a multi-disciplinary team with responsibilities and outputs, supporting and delivering quality assured diagnostic testing services (NATA/ISO 17025) for a broad range of viral pathogens, as well as the exclusion of emergency animal diseases, routine surveillance and biological sample testing.
- Contribute to quality assurance requirements, including reporting tests, maintaining up-to-date and accurate test records, and proficiency testing.
- Undertake and complete tasks under technical direction, working with discretion to decide on the timing of operations within the work team's plan, and planning ahead to meet diagnostic testing demands.
- Assist the Serology Team Leader, Technical Manager and Veterinary Investigation Team by providing oral and written advice upon request.
- Provide general laboratory support for housekeeping and maintenance activities.
- Complete assigned tasks in a timely and professional manner whilst maintaining an awareness of team diagnostic testing priorities, with the flexibility to assist team workflow as required.
- As required, work independently or collaboratively with colleagues on assigned activities, including experimental design, implementation and timely completion of work. Independently and proactively test possible solutions to resolve identified problems.
- Work collaboratively and contribute to the effective functioning of the Serology team and other diagnostic teams in the DSR program, to meet Annual Performance Goals and other objectives.
- Maintain confidentiality when accessing commercially sensitive information of CSIRO and/or research or commercial partners.
