About Us: The BIRD group merges femtosecond laser-based technologies, molecular spectroscopy, and complex organic matter analysis to pioneer new strategies for probing human health and detecting cancer. Our dynamic, interdisciplinary team consists of physicists, physical chemists, data scientists, molecular biologists, and clinical specialists dedicated to applying infrared spectroscopy to molecular medicine and diagnostics.
Position Overview:
We are currently seeking a skilled and motivated biotechnologist to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and implementing various sample processing, analytical chromatographic, and spectroscopic workflows. The goal is to integrate complex biological sample processing with spectroscopic profiling for high-throughput infrared fingerprinting.
Required qualifications:
- BSc/MSc background in biotechnology, analytical and organic chemistry, biophysics, or related fields in molecular and life sciences;
- Prior experience with either infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatographyand/or mass spectrometry is a plus;
- Enthusiasm for applying the latest developments in laser physics to advance medical probing for the benefit of human health.
Responsibilities:
- Operation of infrared spectroscopic devices and chromatographic systems;
- Collaborate with a diverse team to design and implement cutting-edge analytical workflows;
- Contribute to the development of high-throughput molecular profiling techniques;
- Utilize your expertise in biotechnology to enhance our capabilities in molecular medicine.
We offer:
- Initial two-year term with the possibility of extension;
- Location: Research Center Garching, Section Physics of LMU, Am Coulombwall 1, 85748 Garching;
- Easily accessible by public transport;
- Dynamic and friendly work environment;
- Also possible in part-time capacity;
- People with disabilities who are equally as qualified as other applicants will receive preferential treatment.
Explore the intersection of biotechnology and cutting-edge laser physics at the department that just received recognition by the Nobel Prize in 2023 to our director – join our team and make a lasting impact on the future of medical diagnostics!
