Upstream Weekend Bioprocess Associate Co-Op (Part-Time)

Multiple openings, starting May - June 2025 and lasting up to 1 year, are available for part-time co-ops to be responsible for weekend mammalian cell culture operations. Routine job functions include but are not limited to: sub-culturing of seed cultures in shake flasks and cell bags, sampling cell culture studies (including shake flasks or bench-scale bioreactors), bioreactor monitoring, manipulation of nutrient and glucose feed in bioreactors / shake flasks, work with a Tecan robotic liquid handler, Ambr15/250, 200L/500L single-use bioreactors, and documentation in electronic lab notebooks. 

The part-time co-ops will report directly to an Upstream Scientist on one-half weekday and consult with upstream project leads to review responsibilities for the weekend. Routine hours will include one half-day during the week (typically Friday up to 4 hours), plus up to 6 hours for each weekend day worked. The option to work both Saturday and Sunday is potentially available.
