High-Complexity Molecular Laboratory Director

A growing, privately held infectious-disease testing laboratory in the Frederick, MD area is seeking a board-certified Laboratory Director to serve as the CLIA director of its high-complexity molecular (PCR) laboratory. The lab runs syndromic panels for urinary tract, sexually transmitted and respiratory infections and is expanding its test menu.

The director oversees quality, compliance and test validation, reviews and approves procedures, and supports the lab team and leadership. The role is largely remote with a monthly on-site visit. Candidates need ABMGG or ABPath board certification qualifying them to direct a high-complexity laboratory, at least three years of molecular laboratory experience, and capacity under CLIA to take on an additional laboratory directorship.
