About Level Zero
Level Zero is pioneering next-generation biosensor technology for precise, real-time monitoring of critical endocrine biomarkers. Recognised as one of the top 20 startups across all categories worldwide at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024—and backed by top-tier organisations like Redalpine, SOSV, and Entrepreneur First—we’re pushing the boundaries of biochemistry and nanotechnology to revolutionize personalised health. Founded by two seasoned engineers, we bring extensive experience in R&D, technical innovation, and commercial strategy to transform the way people monitor their health. Our mission is bold: to revolutionise health management by delivering clinical-grade data directly to individuals, wherever they are. We’re seeking driven innovators to join us in pushing the boundaries of biosensing and health tech, making personalised health monitoring a reality for everyone. To achieve this ambitious vision, we’re assembling the best team in the world—dedicated to turning cutting-edge science into life-changing, real-world solutions.
About The Role (Internship)
We are looking for a Biosensors Research Intern (Electrochemistry) to support our electrochemical biosensor R&D team, with a focus on aptamer-based sensing and small-molecule assay development. This role is designed for an intern: you’ll work on well-defined experiments, learn our lab workflows and electrochemistry stack, and contribute data and documentation that moves projects forward.
This is a full-time, in-person internship primarily based in London.
What You'll Do
- Support the design and execution of electrochemical experiments (e.g., voltammetry, impedimetry, chronoamperometry) under guidance
- Prepare buffers/solutions, handle samples (including biofluids where appropriate), and maintain good lab practice
- Assist with electrode cleaning and basic surface functionalisation steps following established protocols
- Run assay optimisation experiments (e.g., concentration ranges, incubation times, blocking conditions) and record results rigorously
- Carry out routine characterisation and quality checks on sensors and reagents, flagging anomalies early
- Contribute to Python-based data analysis and plotting (training provided as needed) and help maintain tidy datasets
- Help draft and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), experiment templates, and lab documentation
- Present progress in short weekly updates and collaborate closely with chemists, biologists, engineers, and data scientists
