– Good attitude and willingness to work with others
– Ability to regularly lift up to 50lbs

This is a full-time position and is eligible for standard benefits after a brief waiting period. The schedule for this position is Monday through Friday, from 8:00am – 5:00pm. The laboratory operates weekends, so candidates must be willing to work some weekends.
