Position 1 description-GC/MS-MS instrument operation, BS or MS degree in chemistry, biochemistry
Monitor aromatic amines (AA) in NHANES samples is an on-going project in
TEB. This project was designed to assess exposure AA from tobacco smoke
and tobacco related products. The position is located in the Tobacco
Exposure Biomarkers Laboratory (TEB), Tobacco and Volatile Branch,
Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS), National Center for Environmental
Health, CDC at their Chamblee Campus (Atlanta, Georgia). The selected
applicant will be trained to operate a GC/QQQ instrument and data
processing using MassHunter or Indigo ASCENT. The candidate will be
responsible for providing analytical support for and be responsible for
running samples using a GC/QQQ with established SOP. Responsibility
would also include maintaining the GC/QQQ instruments with support from
service engineers from appropriated vendors.
Primary responsibilities:
1. GC/MS-MS analysis; and data processing using MassHunter or Indigo ASCENT™
2. Optional opportunities for growth: data analysis using STARLIMS, participate in small studies

Position 2 description-Volatile nitrosamine, BS or MS degree in chemistry, biochemistry
Monitor volatile nitrosamine (VNA) in human urine samples is an on-going
project in TEB. The position is located in the Tobacco Exposure
Biomarkers Laboratory (TEB), Tobacco and Volatile Branch, Division of
Laboratory Sciences (DLS), National Center for Environmental Health, CDC
at their Chamblee Campus (Atlanta, Georgia). The selected applicant
will be trained to operate automatic workstations such as Hamilton STAR,
Caliper Staccato, and also GC/QQQ instrument.
The selected applicant will be responsible for providing analytical
support for and be responsible for sample preparation using established
SOP with various automation platforms (such as Hamilton STAR, Caliper
Staccato, etc.), as well as running samples on a GC/QQQ instrument.
Responsibility would also include maintaining automation workstations
and instruments with support from TEB automation-support team as well as
service engineers from appropriated vendors.
Primary responsibilities:
1. Sample preparation for aromatic amines in biological samples
using robotics and automatic work stations (Hamilton STAR, Caliper
Staccato, Cyclone); and maintenance of laboratory instruments: Caliper,
Hamilton with support from TEB automation-support team as well as
service engineers from appropriated vendors.
2. Running samples on a GC/MS-MS analysis; data processing using Agilent software MassHunter
