About the Role

We're looking for a motivated, quick-learning Lab Technician to join our team. The right person will have a postgraduate degree in a life science and some hands-on experience with molecular biology work. We care about more than technical skill, though. We want someone who is approachable, communicates well, and settles quickly into a team-based Operational setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform routine and molecular biology experiments.
• Handle sample processing, storage, and documentation in compliance with established laboratory protocols.
• DNA/RNA extraction, quantification, and quality assessment as required by ongoing projects.
• Support library preparation workflows for sequencing or related downstream applications, where applicable.
• Operate and maintain laboratory instruments and equipment; report any issues promptly.
• Prepare reagents, buffers, and other lab materials accurately and efficiently.
• Maintain detailed and accurate records of experiments, observations, and results.
• Monitor and assist with laboratory inventory, including consumables and reagents.
• Ensure adherence to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), safety standards, and SOPs at all times.
• Collaborate actively with research and support teams to ensure smooth lab operations.

Education

• M.Sc. in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics, or a related life science (required).

Experience

• 6 months to 1 year of hands-on experience in a molecular biology laboratory setting is preferred.
• Candidates with strong academic project work, thesis research, or internship exposure in molecular biology are also welcome to apply.

Preferred Technical Skills

Experience in any of the following will be a strong advantage:

• DNA/RNA extraction and purification techniques.
• Library preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS) or similar platforms.
• PCR, gel electrophoresis, quantification (NanoDrop, Qubit), or related molecular techniques.
• Familiarity with laboratory documentation, data recording, and basic data analysis.

What We Offer

• Hands-on experience in an active molecular biology and research environment.
• Exposure to advanced laboratory techniques and real-world research projects.
• Mentorship from experienced scientists and researchers.
• A collaborative team that's open to new ideas.
• Room to grow professionally, keep learning, and move into more advanced work over time.
