Up to $30/hour | Cell Biology Technician | Hiring ASAP!

About the role

Greene Resources is seeking a hands-on Cell Biology Technician to support a growing in vitro toxicology research program. This position combines mammalian cell culture and cell-based laboratory work with responsibility for coordinating day-to-day laboratory operations. The role will average approximately 60–70% hands-on lab work and 30–40% lab maintenance, ordering, and organization. Location: Rectangle Triangle Park, NC (Onsite). Type: Full-time; Contract (12-month contract, possible placement once the contract is over). Experience: 3 years of relevant laboratory experience. Education: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in biology, toxicology, cell biology, or a related biomedical discipline.

Responsibilities

• Perform hands-on mammalian cell culture using human cell lines and other in vitro models.
• Support in vitro toxicology studies across multiple organ and tissue systems.
• Conduct standard ELISA and multi-well plate-based cell viability and cytotoxicity assays.
• Collect and process samples using common cellular and molecular biology techniques.
• Assist in drafting standard operating procedures (SOPs) from established research protocols.
• Help update existing protocols and SOPs for clarity and consistency.
• Record experimental methods and results accurately to support technical reports and manuscripts.
• Follow experimental schedules and reserve shared equipment as needed.
• Monitor laboratory inventory, assist with supply ordering, maintain equipment logs and calibration records, and perform routine equipment upkeep.
• Maintain organized, accurate, and compliant laboratory records.
• Work under the direction of senior researchers in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
• Provide occasional evening or weekend support when required by study time points or cell-culture schedules.

Requirements

• Basic cell culture experience is required on day one.
• Plate-based assay experience is preferred but not required.
• ALI and iPSC culture experience are a plus, rather than expected qualifications.
• Substantial independent undergraduate research may qualify—approximately 20 hours of lab work per week over at least two years, beyond classroom teaching labs.
• Weekend expectations: During active cell-culture studies, weekend work typically involves 1–2 hours on Saturday or Sunday, approximately one out of every three weekends. Longer weekend work may occasionally be needed. Hours may be adjusted during the week or handled as overtime when applicable.

Skills

• Experience generating or maintaining primary human air-liquid interface (ALI) respiratory models.
• Experience with induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based models.
• Experience working with antibiotic-free mammalian cell cultures.
• Experience with standard ELISA and multi-well plate-based cell viability or cytotoxicity assays.
• Cell culture experience across multiple cell lines.
• Experience with nucleic acid or protein extraction, qPCR, or immunoblotting.
• Experience using in vitro models for chemical research or toxicity testing.
• Familiarity with experimental design, data analysis, GraphPad Prism, Microsoft Excel, or Smartsheet.
• Experience coordinating laboratory workflows and supporting efficient laboratory operations.
