hours per week.<br>

Dako North America in Carpinteria develop, produce and sell diagnostic
reagents, kits and instruments for human cancer diagnostics. The
company
is international, with approximately 250 staff in Carpinteria. The
R&D group has 40 staff, distributed on 7 departments. <br>
R&D has a position open as R&D Assistant.<br>
<br>
The R&D Assistant is the central service function in R&D, this
person will order and arrange all chemicals and reagents, will monitor
all equipment and arrange for external service or repairs when needed,
will do the automatied glass washing and autoclaving and buffer
preparation. <br>
This is a self-paced position where a list of tasks are outlined, but
the
person will additionally work with the associate and scientist group as
hoc. <br>
<br>
All training will be offered on the job, any pre-knowledge of lab work
will be a benefit, wherefore lab classes like biology will be
interesting.<br>
<br>
We are interested in a person that can stay for minimally 12 month,
preferably more. This is a re-hire into a permanent position. The
previous assistant, like many before him, has moved to an associate
position in R&D. This is therefore an entry level position that has
often resulted in permanent full time job upon graduation (this is
pending open positions at the time of graduation or thereafter).<br>
<br>
The job has for other students offered a good combination of practical
work to go along their studies, giving real life experience and helping
focus the studying on later career and industrial application of the
acquired skills. Combine with the possibility for staying in the
company
after graduation.<br>

The 20 hours can be distributed over the 5 weekdays in any way matching
the class activities, but it is necessary to come to work each morning
to
do the equipment monitoring. The work hours may therefore be more some
days than other summing up to 20 hours per week.<br>
At periods of increased workload the hours may be increase upon
agreement
with the Assistant and provided the Assistant can offer the extra
hours.<br>
