Why This Role is a Great Fit for You

Are you a recent graduate or currently pursuing a degree in a health or science-related field? This is a unique, hands-on opportunity to gain real laboratory experience while contributing to a meaningful mission-helping restore sight through eye donation.

You'll build valuable skills in lab techniques, sterile processing, and tissue evaluation-all while working alongside experienced professionals in a supportive, team-oriented environment.

What You'll Do

  • Work in a lab setting to evaluate, process, and prepare donated corneal tissue for transplant
  • Use microscopes and specialized equipment to assess tissue quality
  • Prepare and ship tissue to surgeons, helping restore vision to patients
  • Accurately document and track donor and tissue information
  • Maintain a clean, organized lab space and assist with equipment sterilization
  • Support inventory management and participate in quality improvement efforts

What You'll Gain

  • Hands-on lab experience in a healthcare setting
  • Exposure to tissue processing, sterile technique, and microscopy
  • A strong foundation for careers in healthcare, lab sciences, or medical school
  • The opportunity to contribute to a mission-driven organization

What We're Looking For

  • Recent graduate or currently enrolled (online or in-person) in a science, healthcare, or related program
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to learn in a fast-paced environment
  • A positive, team-oriented attitude with a willingness to take initiative
  • Comfort working hands-on in a laboratory setting

Basic Requirements

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance

A Few Things to Know

  • This role involves working with donor tissue and biological materials in a highly regulated environment
  • You'll spend extended time working with microscopes and performing detailed tasks
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand/sit for extended periods may be required

If you're looking to gain meaningful experience while making a difference, we'd love to hear from you!

Apply today to start your career with purpose.
