Intern, Research Associate - Perinatal

San Diego, CA, United States

Join Our Perinatal Protein Biochemistry Team – Summer Intern Opportunity!

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in groundbreaking healthcare research? Our Perinatal Protein Biochemistry team is where the magic happens! We’re on a mission to understand how proteins work and interact, all to improve the future of perinatal care.

As our Summer Intern, you’ll get hands-on experience in the lab, contribute to projects that matter, and work alongside scientists who love what they do (and might even crack a joke or two while pipetting).

What you’ll be up to during your 10-12 week adventure:

+ Get hands-on with techniques like Western blotting, ELISA, and Co-Immunoprecipitation (CoIP)—don’t worry, we’ll show you the ropes!

+ Test how different conditions affect protein stability and how well they can bind to other molecules.

+ Help produce and purify proteins needed for cutting-edge assay development.

+ Collaborate with scientists to support reagent development and optimize experiments.

+ Dive into real-world protein biochemistry, building skills that’ll wow your future professors and employers.

Who we’re hoping to meet:

+ You can work full-time during the summer (May/June - August/September).

+ You’re currently working on your Bachelor’s degree, with at least one semester left after the internship.

+ Your major is in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or something similar.

+ You’re heading into your junior or senior year.

+ You know how to get your point across, whether you’re writing or speaking.

+ You’re curious about science and eager to learn new lab techniques.

+ You pay attention to details—even the small ones!

+ You’re not afraid to ask questions and share ideas.

Location, pay & other important details:

+ You can work **onsite** at our **San Diego, CA** campus. **Heads up** : intern housing, relocation, and housing stipends aren’t provided, so you’ll need to have your living situation and transportation sorted out.

+ Pay range: $22 - $28 per hour, based on your class standing and operational function.

+ The chance to work with a team that’s genuinely invested in your growth.

+ Networking, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities—all designed to help you thrive.
