Looking for a job

Rebecca Lawler

@rebeccalawler

Laboratory technician specializing in radionuclide, environmental, and microbiology analysis using LIMS.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a lab role where I can apply GLP-safe, detail-focused analysis (radionuclides, microbiology, and sample workflows), use LIMS for accurate reporting, and keep improving through training, collaboration, and quality-driven results.

I’m a Laboratory Technician focused on accurate, quality-driven analysis of environmental and biological samples. At Fermilab’s Radionuclide Analysis Facility, I prepare environmental samples for gross alpha/beta and Liquid Scintillation radionuclide analyses, calibrate and maintain equipment, and distribute validated analytical results to laboratory customers.

I also bring hands-on experience across environmental and biosample workflows. At Eurofins Built Environment, I prepared and analyzed aerobiological, environmental, and water samples for fungal, asbestos, and bacteria analysis, performed microbiological qualitative/quantitative analyses, and supported training for analytical services. Earlier, at CellCarta, I managed biosample preanalytics by entering samples into LIMS, processing human blood specimens for plasma smear slide prep, and performing H&E staining for pathologist reading. I value strong laboratory safety, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and reliable data handling end-to-end.
