| SUMMARY
This is the second in a series of six titles for positions involving the performance and management of positions in a scientific laboratory. The Laboratory family series is identified by a predominant amount of time spent on bench work. These typical duties include running laboratory protocols, data collection and recording (performing sample analysis for external clients, maintaining laboratory equipment, calibrating laboratory instruments), data management, data analysis and /or assist with student labs in a "production" lab environment. Laboratory Technician positions are not connected to specific research and do not require interpretation of results. Therefore, Laboratory Technician II and Laboratory Technician III are distinct and separate titles compared to Research Technician II and Research Technician III. The Laboratory/Research Technician I follows narrowly defined, standard guidelines. |
