Hi Everyone, There is a position for a Histotechnologist at one of the major Pharmaceutical companies located in the Torrey Pines/SDSU/La Jolla area. Here is the job description and if anyone knows of someone that is interested please have them contact me. Thank you Dusko Trajkovic 858-638-6202 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.
