Part-Time Lab Technician — Cosmetics R&D

Vizor • New York, NY

40d • $18 - $18 • Onsite

About The Position

Vizor develops specialty ingredients and sunscreen formulations for beauty and personal care brands globally. We’re looking for a part-time Lab Technician to support our formulation chemists and help run analytical tests in our Brooklyn R&D lab, located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants to break into the beauty and cosmetics industry. You’ll learn by doing: preparing samples, assisting with formulations, running tests, recording results, and helping keep the lab ready for the next experiment.

Requirements

• You take initiative and notice what needs doing without waiting for a detailed list of instructions.
• You’re intellectually curious and analytical, but also comfortable with the patience that good lab work requires.
• Some tasks are repetitive; you understand why doing them carefully matters.
• Strong attention to detail, sound recordkeeping, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves is more important than prior cosmetics experience.

Nice To Haves

• A degree in chemistry is preferred (or currently pursuing), but we’ll also consider candidates with backgrounds in mathematics or other sciences.

Responsibilities

• Support the formulation chemist with sample preparation, batching, and day-to-day lab work.
• Run analytical and performance tests according to established procedures.
• Record observations and results accurately, organize data, and flag results that need a closer look.
• Repeat tests and refine your technique until the results are reliable.
• Maintain equipment, supplies, samples, and a clean, orderly workspace.

Benefits

• Free office snacks and occasional free breakfasts & lunches
• Excellent opportunity to get hands-on lab experience with a company that has customers in the Fortune 500
