You’ll translate complex data into clear results, collaborating with clinicians to guide critical decisions and expand your professional scope. If you crave variety, ongoing learning, and the chance to impact patient care while exploring new communities, this opportunity was created for you. Beyond the lab, you’ll discover the beauty of the Sunflower State—flat plains, rolling prairies, winding rivers, and vibrant towns—where Midwest charm meets modern amenities, cultural events, and welcoming neighborhoods that make every assignment feel like a fresh chapter.

As a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, you’ll oversee specimen processing, method validation, and result reporting with precision and timeliness. Responsibilities include performing a broad spectrum of assays, maintaining rigorous QC/QA protocols, calibrating and troubleshooting instruments, and supporting transfusion services and microbiology operations when needed. You’ll interpret test results, communicate critical findings, and participate in rounds with pathologists and clinical teams to ensure optimal patient outcomes. The role emphasizes ongoing professional growth—opportunities to expand your scope, acquire specialty credentials, and take on leadership tasks as you gain familiarity across departments. The travel assignment includes a comprehensive benefits package: a sign-on bonus, housing support, and the option to extend your contract to continue advancing within your chosen specialty. You’ll receive dedicated support from a travel team, with 24/7 assistance available whenever you’re on assignment, helping with housing, onboarding, credentialing, and any on-site needs across sites.
