- routine analysis
- different from Probiotics b/c in dietary supplements, they have a lot of properties or they have proprietary blends so every sample they set up, they inoculate. They utilize different types of media and dilutions to obtain that.
- Testing for pathogens (like E.coli, Salmonella, Listeria)
- Plating- yeast, mold, total plate count (lower dilutions)
- Upcoming project planned for mid-march-April. Do not know volume but need some additional staff.
- Multiple phase project (phase 1- pilot)- come mid-March
- 30% increase in sample volume
- Could take 1-2 months (phase 1)
- There are 4 phases.
- Phase 1 is smaller than the other phases. Could impact the entire year but not sure on exact volumes.
- Until they go through phase 1, they will not know what the remaining phases will look like
- Also have a Probiotics lab they could get trained in, in the future:
- Associate Microbiologist- Probiotics
- Enumerations of probiotic sample (high count methods)- accuracy is a must.
- A lot of dilution testing
- Spread plate methods and pour plate methods.
- Will get into flow cytometry later on in this role.
- Bachelors degree in the Life Sciences (Microbiology, Biology, Biochemistry or etc)
- 0-1+ years experience in a production/manufacturing or food service position
- Ability to multi task (verify by references)
- Someone that has a routine/repetitive experience (warehouse/assembly even basic lab) would be great
- High attention to detail (verify through references)- precise weights need to be taken
- PCR and ELISA testing experience is a plus
- Ability to use a variety of styles of pipettes and micropipettes, specifically multi-channel electronic pipettes
- Experience Level:
- Hiring diverse talent
- Maintaining an inclusive environment through persistent self-reflection
- Building a culture of care, engagement, and recognition with clear outcomes
