rAbout This Role

The Kansas Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (KVDL) is at the forefront of animal and public health, serving a wide-ranging community that includes livestock producers, veterinarians, pet owners, zoos, and public health partners. This dynamic position is a unique opportunity to play a vital role in supporting laboratory operations and inventory and procurement systems that are critical to the laboratory\'s success.

In this multifaceted role, you will help drive the daily operational support of KVDL while serving as a key partner to the KVDL Director and laboratory leadership.
