i’m a pre-medical student, and i had planned to become a lab assistant in a research university i planned to transfer to. i’m in a community college right now, and i’ll be transferring in a couple years or so. one of my professors told me about a lab assistant job opening, and asked if i was interested. i said yes, and i applied, but it turns out the job code wasn’t available yet. the science office said they would get back to me when there was a job code available. I know how what a lab assistant does in the research university I plan to attend (we hv to do it voluntarily, and its helping a professor doing research); however, my community college is not a research one, so I’m not exactly sure how it works. i have tried to look on the website, but there’s no further info on the job description. i don’t know any other students that were former lab assistants there either. Would it be appropriate to ask my professor the job description or would that be unprofessional?
