What would we like you to bring?

Detail orientation, cleanliness, and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, engineering or a related field with at least 3 years of experience in a professional lab setting.

Having a fundamental understanding of lab practices, safety and chemistry is required. We will also look for a proven track record of root cause analysis and effective communication.
