  • Blotting and other detection assays
  • Routine mammalian cell culture maintenance (passaging, plating and transfection)
  • Maintain detailed lab records, SOPs, and experimental documentation
What We're Looking For
  • B.S. or M.S. in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, or related field
  • 1+ year of hands‑on bench experience in a research or biotech setting
  • Proficiency in RNA workflows, ELISA, western blotting, and mammalian cell culture
  • Rigorous attention to detail and commitment to data quality and reproducibility
  • Able to work independently and manage time effectively on a part‑time schedule
Nice to Have
  • Experience with RNA production and analytic workflows
  • Familiarity with additional cell‑based assay platforms (fluorescent microscopy, Luminescence, viability assays, etc.)
Schedule & Compensation
  • 2–3 days per week, flexible scheduling considered
