About the role

FWI is seeking a Wet Lab Lead Technician to oversee laboratory operations supporting NOAA's GLERL. You will design water quality sampling programs, mentor staff, and manage a carbon and nutrient chemistry lab to ensure high-quality data for HABs and ecosystem research. You will work across ships and field programs in the Great Lakes, performing analyses with TOC, DIC, and related instruments, while developing SOPs and contributing to technical summaries for publications.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
