Role Overview

We are looking for a Co-Op for the TDS Proteins Development Material Sciences team in Malvern, PA. One vacancy is currently open.

• The co-op term is typically six months, from January to June 2027 (flexible).
• Full-time requirement (40 hours per week), fully on-site.

Purpose

The TDS Proteins Development Material Sciences organization is looking for a motivated Co-Op to support analytical testing, method development, and expansion of internal laboratory testing capabilities.

The Co-Op will help develop and implement automated sample preparation methods for LC-MS testing of cell culture media and in-process bioreactor samples. The role offers hands-on experience in laboratory automation, analytical method development, LC-MS instrumentation, quantitative analysis, data processing, and experimental design.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement automated sample preparation methods for internal LC-MS testing of cell culture media and bioreactor samples.
• Adapt existing manual sample preparation methods to robotic platforms to increase testing capacity.
• Perform manual sample preparation to support comparison of automated workflows.
• Support analytical method development, optimization, and implementation.
• Gain hands-on experience with laboratory automation, LC-MS instrumentation, and analytical techniques.
• Perform quantitative analyses and process experimental data to evaluate method and study performance.
• Analyze and interpret results using analytical and statistical techniques.
• Take part in technical discussions and Design of Experiments (DOE) activities.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners and join project meetings.
• Keep accurate laboratory notebooks and technical documentation.
• Share experimental findings and provide additional laboratory and project support as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience or familiarity with laboratory automation and automated sample preparation workflows.
• Experience with quantitative analysis and analytical method development.
• Experience with experimental data analysis and basic statistical techniques.
• Experience with liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectrometry (MS), or LC-MS is a plus.
• Prior experience with analytical laboratory testing, sample preparation, or scientific research.
• Experience with experimental design, execution, and data interpretation.
• Interest in robotic laboratory platforms and improving testing capacity through automation.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Initiative, curiosity, problem-solving ability, and effective collaboration in a lab environment.
