Full Job Description

Key details

On-site
Location: Somerville, MA
Part-time: 4 hours/day Mon-Fri, either 8:45 AM-12:45 PM or 1:15-5:15 PM
Temporary: 16 week fixed term (August 31-December 18, 2026) or 12 week fixed term (September 14-December 4, 2026)
Salary: $30/hour and $2000 performance bonus

About Active Site

Active Site is a research nonprofit studying the intersection of AI and biology. We collect real-world data to measure how AI augments human performance in biological experimentation, using our findings to advance the science of AIxBio. Our work shapes how new technologies like AI interface with biological research.

About The Role

We are seeking Molecular Biology Associates to work independently on DNA assembly.

Core Tasks: You will work in a BSL-1 lab completing tasks such as DNA design, assembly, purification, and cloning.
The AI Component: As part of this project, you will work with AI tools like Claude Code.
Work Environment: This role is designed for highly autonomous researchers. You will not receive day-to-day technical mentorship or assistance; instead, you will have the unique opportunity to fully own your research strategy, manage your own reagent budget, and independently drive your DNA assembly projects. While you will be working alongside other associates, you won’t collaborate together.

Requirements

Educational Background: You must be currently enrolled in or hold a bachelor's degree in Biology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, or a closely related discipline.
Experience: 3 months of independent, iterative, and project-based research experience in PCR, gel electrophoresis, and molecular cloning. Demonstrated understanding of primer design, molecular software (Benchling), and molecular cloning methods.
Work Authorization: This position is open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and individuals currently authorized to work in the U.S.. Active Site Research, Inc. is an E-Verify employer and complies with all applicable work authorization laws.

Referral Bonus

Refer a friend and earn $200: receive $100 once they're hired and accept the position plus $100 when they successfully complete the full 12-week term.

Referral bonuses are awarded only to referrals submitted through our official referral link before the candidate applies. Candidates who have already applied through any other channel are not eligible for referral bonus payout, regardless of any prior connection to the referrer.

Logistics & Policies

Commute: The lab is accessible via Green line extension (East Somerville) and nearby Blue Bike stations. Parking is not provided.
Flexibility & Remote Work: We cannot accommodate flexible hours outside 8:45 AM-5:15 PM or hybrid/remote work.
Absences: We can schedule make-up days for illness, but we cannot accommodate pre-planned absences exceeding 5 days during the term.
Concurrent Commitments: You may engage in other jobs or classes as long as they do not conflict with your scheduled hours.
Future Employment: This is strictly a temporary role; we are not hiring full-time after the position ends.
Holidays: Our office observes all federal holidays. During this term we’ll observe Labor Day (September 7) and Thanksgiving (November 26).

Our Hiring Process

Deadline: August 1, 2026
Step 1: Submit Your Application
Step 2: In-person, onsite interview
Step 3: Offer

We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis and aim to move quickly. If you’re interested, we recommend applying soon.
