Overview
Job Description
The Missions, Concepts, and Capabilities (MCC) Division of Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) is seeking to contingently hire a Biologist to join a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists researching laser biological effects and laser eye protection solutions in a laboratory setting. The Biologist supports experimental investigations of laser-tissue interactions using animal models and advanced microscopy techniques. This role involves preparation and handling of biological specimens, participation in controlled animal studies, and execution of optical imaging workflows to assess tissue responses, injury mechanisms, and recovery processes. The biologist works closely with physicists, engineers, veterinarians, and research staff to ensure scientific rigor, proper documentation, and full compliance with ethical and regulatory requirements. Most of the work will take place onsite in US Government-provided laboratory space in San Antonio, TX.
This position is contingent upon ARA securing a contract, customer acceptance of the candidate's resume, funding of the biologist position, security clearance, and successful background check. The Air Force has announced that it expects to make an award in the summer of 2026.
Responsibilities
- Support and participate in laser exposure experiments on animal tissue under approved protocols.
- Prepare biological samples for histology, microscopy, and quantitative analysis
- Operate and maintain microscopy systems (e.g., brightfield, fluorescence, confocal, multiphoton) to assess tissue structure, pathology, and cellular responses
- Perform imaging, staining, sectioning, and sample preparation workflows according to established laboratory procedures
- Collect, organize, and analyze biological data; assist in interpreting experimental results
- Maintain accurate and detailed laboratory records, including specimen tracking, imaging logs, and experimental notes
- Assist with the development, refinement, and documentation of standard operating procedures (SOPs).
- Ensure compliance with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocols, biosafety requirements, and laboratory safety regulations
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of scientists, engineers, and technicians
- Contribute to technical reports, presentations, and publications
Key Skills and Competencies
- Knowledge of cellular and tissue biology, histology, and related biological processes
- Hands-on experience with microscopy techniques, specimen preparation, and imaging workflows
- Ability to follow detailed experimental protocols and maintain precise records
- Experience using imaging analysis tools (ImageJ, FIJI, or equivalent)
- Strong laboratory organization, documentation, and quality-control skills
- Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary research teams
- Strong communication skills for documenting observations and supporting technical reporting
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Anatomy, Physiology, or a related discipline
- Minimum of 2 years of experience in a laboratory environment performing biological sample preparation and microscopy
- Demonstrated ability to follow safety, biosafety, and ethical guidelines in laboratory research
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance
Preferred Qualifications
- MS or PhD in a relevant technical discipline.
- Experience with DoD laboratories.
- Familiarity with animal research processes and basic handling protocols.
- Training or certification in animal care or handling (e.g., AALAS certification).
- Experience with advanced imaging modalities such as confocal or multiphoton microscopy.
- Existing TS or TS/SCI clearance
