We seek research assistant to aid in the routine analysis of reaction samples using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Following a standard operating procedure, the research assistant will organize and load samples into the HPLC autosampler and carry out the analysis. Using the instrument software, the research assistant will review and quantify the results, logging the information into a laboratory notebook and preparing a summary report for the other project team members. The research assistant will also properly label and store samples post-analysis.
In order to keep up with the project’s timely analytical demands, the position requires presence at CEBC laboratory most weekdays during the summer. Weekly total hours may vary based on project needs but are expected to be at least 20 hours most weeks, and may reach as high as 40 hours.
The research assistant is expected to learn and follow all relevant CEBC and KU-EHS safety procedures. This position is part of a company-sponsored research project, so confidentiality of project information is required.
