- Contribution to analytical projects and support of plant needs
- Application of biosafety and laboratory safety procedures in a controlled environment (e.g., biosafety level 2 laboratory – BSL-2)
Laboratory activities (microbiology and chemistry)
- Preparation of culture media, reagents, and laboratory equipment
- Biochemical analyses using instruments such as HPLC / GC and Kjeldahl (proteins, phosphates, trehalose and other analytes present in yeast products)
- Assistance in training new students
Quality and continuous improvement
- Documentation of results in accordance with traceability requirements and laboratory standards
- Contribution to the continuous improvement of laboratory practices and procedures
- Exposure to quality assurance processes, including document review, deviation tracking, and preparation for internal or external audits
