Special Requirement - Bona Fide Occupational Qualification

This position requires the incumbent to be a non-nicotine/tobacco user. Due to the nature of the work - including the preparation of sensitive solutions and continuous contact with glassware and storage areas - nicotine contamination poses a meaningful risk to study integrity. As a volatile compound, nicotine can compromise results even through trace exposure, including secondhand contact or residual exposure from clothing or nicotine-present environments.
