MetLife Mobile Clinic

Dear MEDLIFErs,

The winter break is quickly approaching, and with it comes the opportunity to embark in an amazing journey and participate in MEDLIFE's Mobile Clinics. A MEDLIFE Mobile Clinic is a basic medical clinic that we bring directly to the poor. Staffed not only by general practitioners, each Clinic provides patients with dental, OB/GYN, and pediatric care, as well as access to preventative tests. As a Mobile Clinic participant, you will have the opportunity to work closely with and learn from our medical professionals as they identify individuals in need of follow-up care. In addition, you will work alongside our staff at patient intake, triage and pharmacy, and also help run our educational programs. And, you will also get the chance to participate in a community infrastructure development project. Plus, you will also get the chance to discover a new country, meet new friends, and have tons of fun while at the same time making an everlasting impact in the life of the families we help.

In our Mobile Clinics you will have the chance to go to Cusco, Lima, Kilimanjaro, New Delhi, among others.

If you would like to find out more about our trips, no strings attached, come to our Mobile Clinics meeting Thursday (10/16/14) at 6:00pm. (NOTE the date change from 10/9 to 10/16; room to be announced.)

What: MEDLIFE Mobile Clinics Meeting
When: Thursday (10/16/14) at 6:00pm
Where: TBD

If you have any questions please bring them to the meeting, or shoot me an email to azhen3@gatech.eduazhen3@gatech.edu

Some information about the project and requirements :

The project will require developing and validating a method for measuring OS biomarkers in human urine and transferring the method onto their robotics work stations  (Hamilton STAR (1 system) and Caliper Staccato (1 or 2 systems)) in order to improve throughput.  Dr. Seyler is specifically looking for candidate with LC/MS experience and preferably robotics automatic workstation experience (such as Caliper or Hamilton).  The LC/MS-MS (3 systems) will be ABSciex 6500.

Samples will be 10,000 human urine specimens the first year. This is part of the FDA’s PATH study, contracted and run by NIDA.

BS candidate will be mostly routine sample preparation.

MS candidate will be operating either the robotic system or LC/MS. The MS candidate I’m hiring right now will be working on the Hamilton and Caliper.

Ph.D. candidates will help me lead the assay: sample data flow (sample tracking, analysis, reporting), data analysis (including QC and QA, SAS or JMP), improving method (sensitivity, LoD, throughput, etc.), trouble shooting the instrument, etc.

For those  candidates who are interested in the position, please send your questions and CVs, cover letters directly to Tiffany Seyler (tvh2@cdc.gov her other contact info is below). It may be a good idea to put in the subject line put “Oxidative stress (OS) as biomarkers for tobacco exposure Job opportunity” so that your email is not overlooked.
