Entry Level Laboratory Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level laboratory assistant job?
Employers at this level look for hands-on coursework, lab rotations, or internship experience rather than years on the job. Highlight specific techniques you have used, such as pipetting, sample preparation, or equipment calibration. A degree in biology, chemistry, or a related science is a common baseline, but candidates who can point to concrete lab work, even from school projects, stand out in a competitive applicant pool.
Which companies hire entry level laboratory assistants?
Companies hiring entry level laboratory assistants right now include Boys Town, AHMC Healthcare, and Geisinger, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level covers research hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract testing labs, and university research centers, all of which routinely bring on junior staff to support their technical teams.
Are there remote entry level laboratory assistant jobs?
Yes, though remote availability is more limited for lab roles than for purely desk-based work. About 15% of entry level laboratory assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with hybrid arrangements typically covering administrative or data-entry duties while core lab tasks remain on-site. Searching for hybrid roles can widen your options if schedule flexibility matters to you.
Are these new grad laboratory assistant jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior laboratory assistant openings. A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes candidates with zero to two years of experience and treats internships, school lab rotations, or a strong science portfolio as equivalent to professional tenure. If a listing does not require previous employment history and accepts a degree as the primary qualification, it fits the new grad category.
Which industries hire the most entry level laboratory assistants?
Entry Level laboratory assistant roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they depend on large support teams to handle routine sample processing, quality control checks, and data logging, tasks that are well suited to candidates who are early in their laboratory careers.
