Beyond professional credentials and certifications, Information Professional Officers can advance their education by:
- Pursuing opportunities at institutions such as Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) or Navy War College (NWC)
- Completing Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) at one of the various service colleges
Postgraduate education is important to the success of the Information Professional. Most IPs will complete a master's degree in C4I, space, information systems, computer science or modeling and simulation.
There's also potential to pursue a graduate certificate, DoW certifications, federal executive fellowships and information assurance scholarships and internships.

Research Technician II — Hall Lab
Are you fascinated by the bizarre world of small, wiggly, often regenerative invertebrates?
The Stowers Institute for Medical Research is seeking a Research Technician II to join the Hall Lab.
Our lab is motivated by the simple premise that we shouldn’t be limited to studying biology only in established “model” organisms. We are developing a suite of molecular and imaging tools to enable genetic engineering in diverse emerging model organisms, with the goal of understanding how stem cells support regeneration across the tree of life.
Roles & Responsibilities
The selected candidate will work closely with the PI to support the lab’s research efforts by:
- Developing and refining techniques to maintain and expand an array of emerging model invertebrates (with a strong emphasis on flatworms).
- Contributing to molecular cloning that support transgenesis and gene editing strategy development.
- Performing experiments to characterize regeneration, life history traits, and phenotype variation across species.
- Maintaining thorough documentation (protocols, experimental records, colony/line tracking) and contributing to lab organization and best practices.
The ideal candidate is curious, creative, and resilient in the face of experimental setbacks. They work independently when needed, communicate clearly, and consistently incorporate feedback to improve.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Animal husbandry to maintain several species of emerging model flatworms and related invertebrates.
- Working with the Invertebrate Culture Facility to develop and implement more automated, standardized husbandry workflows.
- Characterizing life-cycle traits and regenerative capabilities across diverse flatworm species (including phenotyping with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, and performing genetic perturbations with CRISPR and RNAi).
- Performing molecular cloning using techniques such as bacterial transformation, minipreps, PCR, gel electrophoresis, restriction digestion, Golden Gate assembly, and Gibson assembly.
What We Offer
- Close mentorship and support to help you meet your scientific and professional goals.
- The opportunity to work with unusual and exciting emerging model organisms in the field of regenerative biology.
- The opportunity to work closely with our fantastic technology centers while gaining important leadership skills.
- Professional development opportunities (lab meetings, institute seminars, and conference attendance as appropriate).
- Competitive compensation and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 403(b)), and relocation assistance as applicable.
- Campus perks including café access, and fitness facilities.
Minimum Qualifications
- BS or MS in a relevant field (e.g., Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, Synthetic Biology, Biophysics, Chemical Biology, Ecology, Microbiology, or related discipline).
- 3+ years of laboratory experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with molecular biology and/or genetics (cloning, PCR, gel electrophoresis, etc.).
- Comfort with careful organization and recordkeeping (tracking cloning projects, animal lines, and experimental details).
- Familiarity with sequence/plasmid design tools (e.g., Geneious, Benchling, SnapGene).
- Imaging experience (widefield fluorescence, confocal, or similar).
- Strong attention to detail and observational skill (e.g., recognizing “happy worms,” regeneration phenotypes, and subtle health changes).
- A love and excitement for the organisms we work with.

- Ensure designs align with GMP, FDA, and other applicable regulatory requirements, engaging subject matter experts as needed.
- Review design deliverables, submittals, RFIs, and change documentation to maintain alignment with design intent and project objectives.
- Participate in site visits and coordination meetings to verify design intent is being executed and constructability concerns are addressed early.
- Serve as the primary design-side contact for assigned projects, maintaining clear, consistent, and proactive communication with clients.
- Lead design presentations, technical reviews, and project update meetings with clients and internal leadership.
- Build trusted client relationships through accountability, responsiveness, and technical credibility.
- Support front-end project efforts by contributing to proposal development, interviews, pursuit strategies, and early project definition.
- Mentor engineers and designers, supporting professional growth and development of future project leaders.
- Foster a collaborative, high-performance team environment aligned with Clayco’s culture and values.
- Contribute to the development and refinement of LJC’s design standards, tools, workflows, and best practices for life sciences projects.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in architecture, engineering, or a related technical field.
- 10+ years of experience in engineering or architectural design for GMP, FDA, or other regulated manufacturing environments.
- Prior experience as a design project manager or demonstrated leadership as a senior technical discipline lead on complex projects.
- Proven experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or life sciences facility design.
- Strong understanding of construction methods, process systems, and regulatory-driven design requirements.
- Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and manage complex coordination efforts.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with confidence presenting to clients and senior stakeholders.
