Key Result Areas:

• Write grants and papers or attend fundraising events to seek research funds.
• Verify that cytogenetic, molecular genetics, and related equipment and instrumentation is maintained in working condition to ensure accuracy and quality of experimental results.
• Plan curatorial programs for species collections that include acquisition, distribution, maintenance, or regeneration
• Maintain laboratory safety programs and train personnel in laboratory safety techniques
• Evaluate, diagnose, or treat genetic diseases; design and maintain genetics computer databases
• Participate in the development of endangered species breeding programs or species survival plans
• Instruct medical students, graduate students, or others in methods or procedures for diagnosis and management of genetic disorders
• Confer with information technology specialists to develop computer applications for genetic data analysis
• Collaborate with biologists and other professionals to conduct appropriate genetic and biochemical analyses; review, approve, or interpret genetic laboratory results
• Attend clinical and research conferences and read scientific literature to keep abreast of technological advances and current genetic research findings
• Supervise or direct the work of other geneticists, biologists, technicians, or biometricians working on genetics research projects
• Design sampling plans or coordinate the field collection of samples such as tissue specimens.
• Search scientific literature to select and modify methods and procedures most appropriate for genetic research goals
• Prepare results of experimental findings for presentation at professional conferences or in scientific journals; maintain laboratory notebooks that record research methods, procedures, and results.
• Extract deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or perform diagnostic tests involving processes such as gel electrophoresis, Southern blot analysis, and polymerase chain reaction analysis.
• Evaluate genetic data by performing appropriate mathematical or statistical calculations and analyses.
• Develop protocols to improve existing genetic techniques or to incorporate new diagnostic procedures.
• Create or use statistical models for the analysis of genetic data
• Conduct family medical studies to evaluate the genetic basis for traits or diseases
• Plan or conduct basic genomic and biological research related to areas such as regulation of gene expression, protein interactions, metabolic networks, and nucleic acid or protein complexes
• Analyze determinants responsible for specific inherited traits, and devise methods for altering traits or producing new traits
