Qualifications
Preference would be for an individual with a BS in Biology/Microbiology (or similar).
- • Lab experience (or small scale fermentation experience) is a very strong preference.
- • Need someone that wouldn’t need to necessarily be taught the basics of GMP and GLP (i.e., good documentation practices, basic Micro lab skills, etc.).
- • So, a minimum of at least 2-5 years of experience would probably be ideal. If the person has sound lab experience, but not necessarily within the industry, I would not necessarily discount them.
- • In this situation, the basic lab/micro knowledge is what is the most critical piece, in addition to being able to work independently as needed.
Additional Skills:
- • BS in Biology/Microbiology
- • At least 2 - 5 years lab/GMP experience REQUIRED
