Scientific Project Specialist (m/f/d) - Focus on NGS Applications

Ready for an exciting biotech startup? We are looking for you! We are a startup in the field of genetic diagnostics. Our mission is to improve the lives of people with cancer by developing and providing tools to better understand and manage cancer. We achieve this by using liquid biopsies to identify a patient's individual genetic cancer signature through a blood sample and tracking it throughout the course of their disease.

Tasks

Your task will be to support us in our mission with your expertise in NGS applications and/or analysis of DNA/RNA. Some of your tasks will include:

• Design, organize and execute wet-lab experiments to support project goals as well as routine analyses
• Develop and implement new methods and protocols in the field of Liquid Biopsies
• Standardize and automate processes
• Support in the maintenance and development of our quality management system by taking ownership of processes and writing relevant standard documentations
• Support project management activities

Requirements

We are flexible regarding your exact qualifications. We are looking for a relevant degree or equivalent working experience. We also expect you to have the desire to work in a young and dynamic company where you can be part of shaping its future.

Specifically, we look for:

• Hands-on experience with common NGS methods (Illumina sequencing, Library Preparation protocols), or experience in the development and use of other DNA/RNA analysis techniques (qPCR, dPCR, capillary electrophoresis)
• Experience in NGS diagnostics or the development of NGS-based methods
• Experience working under a quality managed setting (e.g. ISO15189, GMP or similar)

Benefits

We offer you the opportunity to work in a young and dynamic startup. This allows you to actively shape a new company and take on responsibilities. You can work on your own ideas, implement them, and grow with us. If interested and eligible, you can also pursue a PhD with us. We provide a competitive salary package based on your qualifications and the usual benefits, including an element of financial participation in our success.
