What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in laboratory jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, medical laboratory science, or a related field
- Hands-on experience with techniques such as PCR, ELISA, microscopy, or chromatography
- Familiarity with laboratory information systems and data documentation practices
- Knowledge of GLP, GMP, or CLIA regulatory standards depending on the lab setting
- ASCP, AMT, or equivalent certification for clinical or diagnostic laboratory roles
- Ability to maintain accurate records, follow standard operating procedures, and work safely with biological or chemical samples
Tips for Your Laboratory Job Search
Quantify your method proficiency clearly
List specific techniques you've performed independently, such as PCR, HPLC, or cell culture, and note the sample volumes or throughput you handled. Hiring managers in laboratory roles want to know you can run a method, not just that you've observed it.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists laboratory openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Address certification gaps before applying
Many laboratory postings require ASCP, AMT, or EPA certifications. If you're eligible but haven't sat the exam, note that in your cover letter. Employers in regulated industries often hire candidates who are certification-eligible and testing soon.
Prepare to walk through a protocol step by step
Laboratory interviews frequently include a technical walkthrough where you describe how you'd perform a specific method from start to finish. Practice narrating a procedure you know well, including where errors typically occur and how you'd troubleshoot them.
Negotiate shift differentials, not just base pay
Many laboratory positions involve evening, overnight, or weekend rotations. When discussing an offer, ask about shift differential rates, on-call expectations, and schedule rotation frequency, since these factors significantly affect your actual compensation and work-life balance.
Laboratory Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most laboratorys?
The companies hiring the most laboratorys right now include Quest Diagnostics, Labcorp, and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, with the largest share of openings in California, Massachusetts, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand tends to be highest in states with large hospital networks, major pharmaceutical manufacturing, and federally funded research institutions.
How many laboratory jobs are remote?
About 6% of laboratory openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, which is lower than most professional fields because hands-on bench work requires physical presence. The roles most likely to offer remote flexibility are laboratory data analysts, regulatory affairs specialists, and laboratory information system administrators, where the core work is documentation and analysis rather than sample processing.
How do you become a laboratory professional?
Start with a bachelor's degree in a life science, chemistry, or clinical laboratory science program, which provides the foundational coursework most employers require. Complete any required clinical rotations or internships during your program to build hands-on technique. Pursue certification through a body such as ASCP or AMT if your target role requires it, then apply to entry-level positions such as laboratory technician or research associate to build independent bench experience.
Can you get a laboratory job with little or no experience?
Yes, entry-level laboratory technician and research assistant roles are specifically designed for candidates early in their careers. Emphasize any coursework-based lab technique, undergraduate research projects, or volunteer work in a lab setting. Temporary or contract positions at contract research organizations and hospital systems are often easier to land first and serve as a direct path to permanent laboratory roles with more responsibility.
What does the laboratory interview process look like?
Most laboratory interviews begin with a phone or video screen focused on your educational background and technique experience, followed by an on-site interview that includes a technical discussion or practical demonstration. You may be asked to walk through a protocol, troubleshoot a hypothetical equipment failure, or describe how you ensure data integrity. Some employers, particularly in clinical or pharmaceutical settings, also conduct a tour of the facility and review your documentation practices.
Where can I find and apply to laboratory jobs?
You can find and apply to laboratory jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings to find roles that match your background, specialization, and location preference, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
