Purpose
The TDS Proteins Development Material Sciences organization is seeking a highly motivated Co-Op to support analytical testing, method development, and the expansion of internal laboratory testing capabilities.
In this role, the Co-Op will contribute to the development and implementation of automated sample preparation methods for LC-MS based testing of cell culture media and in-process bioreactor samples. This opportunity provides hands-on experience in laboratory automation, analytical method development, LC-MS instrumentation, quantitative analysis, data processing, and experimental design within a collaborative scientific environment.
You will be responsible
Developing and implementing automated sample preparation methods to support internal LC-MS based analytical testing of cell culture media and in-process bioreactor samples.
Adapting existing manual sample preparation methods to robotic platforms to increase testing capacity and improve laboratory efficiency.
Performing manual sample preparation methods to support comparison and evaluation of automated workflows.
Supporting analytical method development, optimization, and implementation.
Gaining hands-on experience with laboratory automation, LC-MS instrumentation, sample preparation, and analytical laboratory techniques.
Performing quantitative analyses and processing experimental data to evaluate method and study performance.
Analyzing and interpreting experimental results using analytical and statistical techniques.
Participating in technical discussions and Design of Experiments (DOE) activities to address knowledge gaps and support project objectives.
Collaborating with internal and external partners and actively participating in project meetings.
Maintaining accurate laboratory notebooks and technical documentation in accordance with established guidelines.
