• Dedicated to scaling up existing low-throughput assays to high-throughput format (96/384-well) ensuring accuracy and reproducibility.
• Converting high-throughput assays into automated processes on the liquid handler. Stringing together many processes involving multiple lab machines to build hands-off automated workflows.
• Encouraging efficient lab data practices by developing processes to reliably transfer data from lab machinery to scientists at their desks.
• Maintaining smart data structures to facilitate the downstream use of data for analysis, model training and visualisations for presentations.
• Working independently in the lab as well as supporting other scientists with standard molecular biology techniques including, but not exclusively: cloning, PCR, transformation, NGS sample preparation and microbial culturing.

Your profile

• Relevant bachelors degree (e.g. biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics) ideally with relevant internship experience OR two to three years of industry experience in a relevant field.
• Experience with liquid handling machinery (e.g. Felix)
• Strong understanding of molecular biological techniques such as PCR, cloning, nucleic acid extraction, sterile technique and microbial culture
• An enthusiasm and affinity for big data, an interest in programming and a desire to set up automated workflows using lab machinery.
• Enthusiasm and drive to maintain a well-functioning and efficient laboratory setting as well as an engineers mentality to lab machine maintenance and data processing/access.

What We Offer In addition to a competitive salary, you can expect the following:

• Urban Sports Club Membership
• Subsidy for Berlin Public Transport Pass
• Regular team events
