This is a full-time, non-exempt position with no direct supervisory responsibilities. Some flexibility in hours is available, but employees must be available during the core work hours published in the BioAgilytix Employee Handbook. Occasional evening, weekend, or holiday work may be needed based on study and business requirements.
The role is primarily laboratory-based, with occasional work in an office environment. It requires the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, lab coats, and gloves. Work may involve biological fluids with potential exposure to infectious organisms, skin and lung irritants, toxic materials, hazardous waste, and, on rare occasions, fluctuating temperatures.
The position involves working in an upright or stationary position for up to eight hours per day; frequent movement, crouching, stooping, bending, and twisting; and repetitive hand and finger movements. It also involves lifting, carrying, or otherwise moving laboratory equipment, supplies, and a laptop computer weighing up to 20 pounds.
