Biology Laboratory Coordinator

The Department of Biology at Cornell College invites applications for a Biology Laboratory Coordinator beginning August 2026.

We’re seeking someone who is energized by hands‑on science, organized lab environments, and supporting student learning. This is a full-time 9-month position. In this role, you’ll work closely with faculty who teach organismal biology courses—including foundations courses, ecology, evolution, and higher-level electives—to ensure that every lab runs smoothly, safely, and effectively.

This position provides laboratory preparation; gathers and prepares equipment, supplies, chemicals, handouts, safety and disposal materials, cultures, media, and solutions needed for weekly biology labs; consults with students during lab sessions when requested by faculty; occasionally accompanies classes on off-campus field trips; assists with routine maintenance and care of laboratory equipment; and tracks supplies to ensure labs are fully stocked. Some assessment work may be required. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys both behind‑the‑scenes preparation and direct interaction with students in a dynamic academic setting.
