Cryo-Collections Manager / Research Specialist Senior

   The Arizona State University (ASU) School of Life Sciences and
Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC) are seeking a
Cryo-Collections Manager for the National Ecological Observatory Network
(NEON) Biorepository. NEON (https://www.neonscience.org/) is a
continental-scale ecological observation facility, sponsored by the
National Science Foundation and operated by Battelle. The project is
expected to run for 30 years. For each project year, the NEON Biorepository
at ASU will receive, process, store, and make available an average of
100,000 biodiversity occurrences sampled at more than 80 sites across the
United States. The diverse samples include DNA extractions, frozen soil
samples, bulk and pinned insect collections, herbarium vouchers, and
partial or entire vertebrate specimens, among others. Large portions of
samples are designated for cryo-storage - using a combination of ultralow
and liquid nitrogen (LN2) freezers - to ensure long-term preservation and
suitability for molecular/genomic research. A high rate of sample use for
NEON-related research projects is expected. The NEON Biorepository will
facilitate this by creating a data portal to support occurrence discovery,
tracking of sample transactions, integration of collections data and usage
statistics, and by maintaining or linking to high-quality biodiversity and
molecular data, in compliance with international standards. The
cryo-collections manager will play a central role in coordinating these
tasks, with particular focus on designing and maintaining the
molecular/genomic collections.

   Envisioned start date: November 1st, 2018.
