Hi everyone.  It seems this section of the forums is not being used anymore, so I figure I will give it a shot.

I am graduating this December with a Masters of Science in Forensic Science and would love to work in a firearm and toolmark unit in a crime lab.  I had a previous internship in the firearm and toolmark unit here in Miami, Florida and enjoyed it a lot.  My main task was to categorize .44 and .45 casings.  I even created a searchable database on excel that lets a user choose certain aspects of an unknown casing and it will show you what casing it might be along with a photograph.

I do not mind relocating at all and already have applied to a few jobs on the aafs website.  I would love to start asap as well.

Thank you for looking

Adam

Adam, we have 2 new positions for trainees or experienced Examiners posted on our web site - www.txdps.state.tx.us. One is in El Paso and is closing on 12-11-2007. The other is in Lubbock and I believe is open until 12-27-2007. We have just filled 4 new positions and will have 2 or 3 more in the near future. Watch our web site and click on "Employment". 

Merry Christmas to All!

Good group of people in the lab, great firearms examiner in Rick W., close to Mariners and Seahawks Stadiums - but no basketball team anymore  :'(

Don't give up!
