Student Lab Assistant

About Again<p>CO2 is a global problem. By fermenting it into carbon negative chemicals, we make it the solution. We have figured out how to take the carbon outputs from industrial emitters, and use them as the inputs for chemical manufacturing. We’re not simply storing carbon away – we are turning it into valuable, emission-free green-chemicals. If that doesn’t bubble your bioreactor, how about this: For every tonne of products we make, over 2 tonnes of carbon are removed from the atmosphere. We have raised over $50m to date from top venture capital investors as well as in grant funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.</p><p><br></p>What you’ll do<p>We are looking for a Student Lab Assistant to assist the scientific teams in experiments as well as help in their daily operations and regular maintenance of the laboratory. Tasks will be planned from day to day but will be focused on preparation of stock solutions and cultivation-media, inoculation of cultures and rinsing glassware, and may include taking/preparing samples for analysis. The primary responsibility of the lab assistant is to support scientists in performing essential tasks in the laboratory. These tasks directly contribute to enhanced productivity and the success of experiments. Estimated working hours per week: 15-20h </p>About you<ul><li>You are currently a student pursuing a degree (Bachelor or 1st year Master's student) in biology, chemistry, biotechnology, biochemistry or related field with at least two years left of your studies.</li><li>Familiar with working in a lab environment – it’s a plus if you have an interest in fermentation or strain development.</li><li>Passionate about saving the planet – and know that we only have a short amount of time to do it.</li><li>You have a positive attitude and thrive in a fast-paced environment.</li><li>You are not afraid of getting your “hands dirty”. </li></ul>What we promise you?<ul><li>You get to work with a group of passionate scientists, working on challenging and meaningful projects.</li><li>This will be the journey of a lifetime – we are serious about our mission to reduce over 1 gigaton of CO₂ and you can play a pivotal role in making that happen.</li><li>An inclusive, empowering and engaging work environment.</li></ul><p>If you have questions regarding the role, we would love to hear from you.
