Job description

Microbiology Lab Analyst

Shift: Wednesday - Saturday (4-10's) 9am start

Job Description

This Associate Microbiologist role focuses on routine microbiological analysis in a USP laboratory, primarily supporting dietary supplement testing. You will perform pathogen testing, plating for yeast, mold, and total plate counts, and work with a variety of media and dilutions to generate accurate results. Over time, you may have the opportunity to cross-train in a probiotics laboratory, where you will work on high-count probiotic enumerations and advanced techniques such as flow cytometry. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys fast-paced, routine laboratory work, is highly detail-oriented, and is looking for clear advancement opportunities within a growing team.

Responsibilities

  • Perform routine microbiological analyses in a USP laboratory setting, focusing on dietary supplement samples.
  • Set up and inoculate samples that may contain proprietary blends, using appropriate media and dilution schemes to obtain accurate results.
  • Conduct testing for microbial pathogens, including organisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, following established laboratory protocols.
  • Carry out plating procedures for yeast, mold, and total plate counts, including lower dilution plating to ensure precise enumeration.
  • Prepare and maintain microbiological media, ensuring proper labeling, storage, and quality for use in testing.
  • Apply aseptic techniques consistently to prevent contamination and maintain the integrity of all samples and results.
  • Use a variety of plate methods, including spread plate and pour plate techniques, to perform quantitative microbiological analyses.
  • Handle and operate different styles of pipettes and micropipettes, including multi-channel electronic pipettes, to perform accurate liquid handling.
  • Maintain detailed and accurate records of all tests performed, including sample identification, methods used, and results obtained.
  • Work within a fast-paced, production-like laboratory environment, meeting turnaround times and client-driven deadlines.
  • Follow standard operating procedures, quality guidelines, and safety practices within a microbiology laboratory.

Essential Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in a Life Sciences discipline such as Microbiology, Biology, Biochemistry, or a closely related field.
  • 0–1+ years of experience in a production, manufacturing, or food service position, or other routine/repetitive work environments such as warehouse, assembly, or basic laboratory work.
  • Foundational knowledge of microbiology and biology, including an understanding of microbial growth, enumeration, and contamination control.

Work Environment

The lab operates in a fast-paced, production-like environment where meeting client timeframes and turnaround goals is a central part of the work. Tasks can be repetitive depending on the group you support, and you will handle a high volume of samples and tests each day. The microbiology department is a relatively small team, working in a separate laboratory space from chemistry, which fosters close collaboration and clear communication. The facility is modern and housed in a newer building, offering an organized, professional setting for laboratory work.
