What makes this role appealing:

This role offers more than routine bench work. You will have room to strengthen your technical judgment, solve day-to-day laboratory challenges, and take greater ownership of study execution. Depending on your background and interests, you may contribute to sample analysis, assay development, or other scientific programs where your skills can have the strongest impact.

You will also gain exposure to cross-functional work, support the development of other Analysts, and build experience that can prepare you for broader scientific responsibilities.

Work environment and schedule:

This is a full-time, non-exempt position with no direct supervisory responsibilities. The role is primarily laboratory-based and requires the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, lab coats, and gloves. Work may involve biological materials, laboratory chemicals, hazardous waste, and other potential irritants.

The position requires frequent movement, periods of standing or remaining stationary, repetitive hand movements, bending, crouching, and lifting or moving laboratory equipment and supplies weighing up to 20 pounds. Occasional evenings, weekend, or holiday work may be needed based on study schedules and business requirements.
