Electron Microscopy Section Lead

Path A — 3–5 years of histology-specific laboratory experience, with Certified Technician (ASCP) status in one of the following: HT, HTL, CT, or MLT.

Path B — strong hands-on transmission electron microscopy experience (research, academic, industrial, or clinical) combined with demonstrated staff management or supervisory experience.

As the Electron Microscopy Section Lead, you'll keep Arkana's EM operation running at the standard our nephropathologists depend on: technically sound, same-day turnaround, and audit-ready every day.

You'll own the section's results end-to-end while continuously redesigning how the section works so it gets faster, more consistent, and less dependent on any one person.

You're comfortable applying lean and design-thinking approaches to workflows, questioning why a step exists and redesigning it rather than just documenting around it — and you bring genuine curiosity about automation and AI-assisted imaging tools, even if you're not an expert on day one.

Keep EM cases processed and results delivered same-day, consistent with Arkana's lab-wide turnaround standard, proactively documenting and communicating any exception.

Validate, document, and implement new or revised EM methods, sample preparation procedures, and imaging protocols on a defined cadence with records ready for CAP, CLIA, and New York State review at any time.

Own quality and compliance for the section: identify, investigate, and correct non-conforming results before any report leaves the section, and lead the section through CAP inspections and internal audits.
