You can turn your passion for biology into a profession! With the training as a biology laboratory technician (m/f/d)!

Have you always been fascinated by the way the connections in nature work and were you looking forward to biology lessons at school? Then this is the right profession for you.

Precision, patience and care are particularly important for the profession of a biology laboratory technician (m/f/d)!

At the beginning, you will start with small tasks, such as pipetting liquids.

Step by step, you will learn how to handle, clean and maintain instruments and technical equipment in the laboratory. You will also learn how to record, professionally document and evaluate measured data. In the laboratory, you will work with living organisms ranging from microorganisms and cell cultures to our farm animals.

You will learn the responsible handling of pigs, goats, mice and co. and you will be involved in taking samples from living and dead animals in our experimental animal facilities and in the slaughterhouse.

You will spend part of your 3.5-year dual training at the vocational school in Zierow. From anatomy to zoology, there are many biological fields that you will get to know. In addition, courses will also be held at the BCAW Bildungscenter in Rostock, among other places.

Required school-leaving certificate

This training is not without its difficulties! Therefore the prerequisite for an application is a good secondary school certificate. In any case, you need a good knowledge of biological processes, chemical elements, physical quantities and mathematics. The FBN works in cooperation with many institutions from different international countries, so ideally you should also have a good knowledge of English.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to our research team in order to better understand the animal as a system and the animal in the system.

Button up the lab coat, put on gloves, put on safety goggles and get to work.

If you love animals, this training is just the right choice for you!
