Full Job Description

Micro Paradox is seeking a detail-oriented Research Assistant to work directly alongside our Research Director. This role is specifically designed as a professional development track for a scientifically minded individual who excels at documentation, data organization, and technical writing. The successful candidate will undergo direct mentorship to transition from executing trials to independently designing experiments, writing production-ready protocols, and managing scientific documentation. Previous micropropagation experience is not required.

About Us

Micro Paradox is a specialty plant laboratory that produces disease-free, lab-propagated plants for commercial nurseries across the United States and internationally. Our plants are grown using tissue culture, a propagation method that ensures they are clean, uniform, and true to type.

Micro Paradox offers a unique work environment: a small, highly technical operation where the work is hands-on, our products and services continue to grow and evolve, and the impact of what we produce can be seen in grocery stores and plant nurseries in the United States and beyond.

What You'll Do

When you start:

Executes research trials by preparing media, establishing new cultures, and subculturing plant material under standard operating procedures (SOPs)
Maintains meticulous, highly accurate, and systematic documentation of daily trial progress
Translates direct experimental observations into clear, concise preliminary draft reports
Submits samples for pathogen testing and coordinates data with the production team

As you grow:

Co-authors trial protocols and written trial reports, with increasing independence
Assists in experimental design and trial planning
Takes ownership of scheduling, tracking, and compiling data for ongoing production trials
Translates complex scientific literature or experimental results into clear, actionable, instructions for production staff
Other duties as assigned by senior staff

What We’re Looking For

B.S. in Plant Biology, Agronomy, Horticulture or related degree
Exceptional Technical Writing Skills: The ability to digest data, scientific literature, and verbal direction, and synthesize them into precise, structured written reports and operational protocols
Proficient in computer use (Gmail, Docs, spreadsheets)
Able to work with hands, stand, walk, stoop, sit, and bend for extended hours
Able to work in hot and humid conditions and to lift 30 lbs

Compensation & Benefits

$23.00-30.00/hour, depending on experience
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off and sick leave
4% matching 401(k) after 1 year
Work hours Monday through Friday
