Natural Resources Job Board

The Ecotoxicology Research Program at Mote Marine Laboratory is seeking a full-time Research Technician to join our team. We investigate effects of environmental pollutants and bioactive compounds on marine wildlife, marine ecosystems, and human health using the tools of analytical chemistry, exposure science, toxicology, and molecular biology. Current projects involve monitoring contaminants in the environment, understanding how contaminants affect animal, human, and ecosystem health, exploring ways to mitigate harm caused by toxic substances, and investigating bioactive compounds for their ability to bind therapeutic targets. Key topics of research include harmful algae bloom toxicity and mitigation; sources and fate of chemicals in water, air, and organisms; and mechanisms of action of harmful substances on cells and organisms. Work will involve a broad range of research projects encompassing controlled laboratory conditions as well as natural field studies.
