I think my laptop speakers are subtly fucked

I saw this posting for "laboratory assistant" on cln:
The laboratory assistants will provide important supportive roles for the scientific research in a cell and developmental biology laboratory. In fulfilling the work, the students will learn technical skills and the care and precision needed in research. They will be mentored by our Laboratory Technician and work as a team. Importantly, the positions are also entry points for getting directly involved in our experimental work. Thus, applicants should have a strong interest in pursuing future research (e.g. research courses in the lab).

Please provide a cover letter, your resume, and a copy of your marks from ROSI.


Positions begin in early September.


Qualifications:

-an interest in laboratory research, especially in molecular, cellular and developmental biology
-past work experience in any area (science or non-science)

Duties:
-washing glassware
-preparing solutions and media
-maintaining Drosophila (fruit fly) stocks
-possibility of directly participating in experiments



HAHAHAH. That's incredible. Who the fuck would want to do this. How does this help your "research career" in any way.
