Microbiologist
Position Type: Contract
Location: Onsite Cary, IL (100% Onsite Laboratory)
Schedule: Sunday Thursday, 9:00 AM 5:00 PM
Job Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented Contract QC Microbiologist to join our Quality Control team in Cary, IL. This role is 100% onsite and primarily focused on executing hands-on, routine microbiological testing of raw materials, in-process solutions, and finished pharmaceutical products within a cGMP laboratory environment.
This position involves high-volume, standardized compendial testing (~80% hands-on laboratory work and ~20% administrative data entry/documentation). Depending on candidate qualifications, responsibilities may also extend to data review and laboratory investigation support.
Key Responsibilities
  • Microbiological Testing: Perform routine and non-routine testing, including bioburden analysis, growth promotion testing (GPT), antimicrobial effectiveness testing (AET), and microbial identifications.
  • cGMP Documentation: Accurately document all test procedures, raw data, and results in real time in strict compliance with cGMP, USP, and data-integrity standards.
  • Lab Maintenance & Readiness: Maintain laboratory equipment, stock testing reagents/supplies, and ensure general laboratory organization and safety compliance.
  • Data Review & Investigations: Support peer data review, out-of-specification (OOS) results, and laboratory deviation investigations based on experience and qualification.
  • Communication & Collaboration: Track testing timelines and proactively communicate test status, equipment issues, or potential delays to laboratory leadership.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Education: Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology, Biology, or a related scientific discipline (Required).
    • Note: Candidates holding a Master's degree or higher will be considered, but must be comfortable with high-volume, repetitive bench execution without research/development duties.
  • Compliance & Detail: Strong understanding of cGMP regulations, data integrity, and strict adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs).
  • Work Style: High attention to detail, strong technical writing skills, and the ability to work independently following training and qualification.
  • Schedule & Location: Ability to work 100% onsite in Cary, IL on a fixed Sunday through Thursday (9:00 AM 5:00 PM) schedule.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Prior hands-on experience in a cGMP Quality Control microbiology laboratory.
  • Familiarity with compendial testing methodologies (USP/EP/JP).
  • Experience with laboratory data review and OOS/OOT investigation procedures.
