Carrières

• Independent planning, execution, and analysis of drug discovery experiments, presenting results in lab meetings and searching for information in scientific and technical literature
• Development, optimization, and execution of pharmacologic assays for the identification, characterization, and optimization of drug candidates
• Application of a broad range of biochemical, cell-based and molecular biology technologies for drug discovery
• Establishing renal disease models and testing efficacy of drug candidates
• High quality data analysis, reporting documentation of experimental results in electronic lab journal
• Maintenance and organization of the lab to the highest industry standards
• Supervising and mentoring apprentices and students
• Enthusiastic collaboration, proactive support, and exchange of project-related knowledge with all team members

• University degree (BSc, MSc) in Life Sciences or completed apprenticeship as Biology Laboratory Technician with >3 years work experience in an industrial or academic setting
• Solid practical experience with cell and molecular biology techniques, genetic editing of mammalian cells, complex cell- and organoid-based assays ideally with renal immortalized or primary renal cells
• Extensive experience in some of these standard laboratory techniques: molecular biology (RNA isolation, qPCR), biochemical/imaging methods (Western, ELISA, flow cytometry, IHC and fluorescence microscopy), and cell-based assays (transfection/virus transduction, functional cellular assays (e.g. cell survival, proliferation, migration)
• License to carry out in vivo studies (“LTK1” or equivalent FELASA permit) is a plus
• Research experience with rodent disease models, preferably in the renal disease field and expertise in common techniques of animal research is a plus 
• Respectful attitude to colleagues and efficient teamwork
• Strong commitment to quality, accuracy, and technical details
• Standard IT skills (MS Office) and data analysis software (e.g. GraphPad Prism, FlowJo and other instrument specific software)
• Fluency in written and spoken English, German is a plus
