Temporary Histology position:
 
Position will be for approximately 8 months.  It is approved for 40 hours per 
week but there is some flexibility and as long as there is overlap with a lead 
histotech the time of day could be flexed.  It is an  associate scientist III 
level and will be competitive.  This would be a good opportunity for someone who 
may want to see what industry is like and to also get a crash course in IHC as 
we do a lot here.  It is all non-GLP.
