Job description
About the Opportunity The Tissue Culture Lab Operations Intern will support the TC Lab by conducting a focused efficiency‑improvement project across both robotic and manual production workflows. The intern will collect operational data, map process steps, and analyze key production metrics to identify workflow delays, bottlenecks, and waste points. The primary goal of this internship is to provide clear, data‑driven recommendations to enhance throughput, improve robot utilization, and streamline daily lab operations. Working closely with lab technicians, supervisors, and the automation team, the intern will gain hands‑on exposure to tissue culture production, laboratory operations, and the use of robotic systems in plant propagation. This is a meaningful opportunity for someone interested in lab operations, process optimization, and applied biotechnology. Responsibilities: Collect, organize, and analyze operational data across tissue culture workflows (manual and robotic). Track key production metrics such as contamination rates, cycle times, throughput, and success rates. Support workflow mapping to document how materials move through the TC Lab, identifying bottlenecks and improv...
