• Supporting automation of repetitive tasks (e.g., data entry, file organization) using scripting tools (e.g., Python, Excel macros).
• Helping maintain and troubleshoot lab information systems (LIS/LIMS) and databases.
• Collaborating with lab staff to optimize data workflows and reduce manual errors.
• Contributing to data analysis projects, such as trend reporting or quality control checks.
• Documenting procedures for data handling, storage, and backup to meet lab standards.
• Potentially assisting with integrating lab instruments with digital systems for seamless data flow.

What You’ll Bring:

• Currently enrolled in a Biology, Life Sciences, or related program (e.g., Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences).
• Interest in lab operations, data management, or computational biology.
• Basic familiarity with Office tools (e.g., Excel) or willingness to learn.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail (critical for archiving and accuracy!).
• Ability to explain technical tasks to non-technical lab teams.
• Curiosity about automation, AI, or machine learning in biology (a plus, but not required).

Preference will be given to the following:   

• Experience with lab software.
• Coursework or projects involving data analysis, statistics, or bioinformatics.
• Exposure to AI-assisted tools for biology (e.g., image analysis, pattern recognition).
