Dr. Tom Shellhammer’s lab in the Food Science & Technology Department has Beer/Hop Lab Technician positions open for this upcoming fall term (2025). These positions will start with training during the spring term and begin work this fall, with opportunities to work during the summer of 2025. This can be a long-term position – once you’re in, you can continue working with us until you graduate! So if you are interested, but concerned that you may not have the chemistry skills to take on work in an analytical lab because you are only a sophomore or junior, don’t worry! Many now-graduated lab technicians started as sophomores or juniors and continued to work for the lab for two or even three consecutive years. We are looking for driven, focused students with a passion for learning, solid organizational and basic quantitative chemistry skills, and who take pride in their work. You bring a responsible attitude, we’ll teach you the lab techniques.

If you are interested, we encourage you to apply!
