• Prior experience in the Lateral Flow Assay field would be valuable.
• You have a good technical understanding and strong interest in this area and ideally have knowledge of immunology, especially antigen-antibody response and microarray analyses.
• You are interested in establishing and further developing methods, are highly motivated and able to develop new approaches on state-of-the-art equipment independently and in a problem-oriented manner.
• You are a team player, but also work independently.
• You also have a sufficiently good knowledge of English.

We offer

• We offer a modern laboratory with all the necessary equipment, as well as good support and training within our interdisciplinary working group and a collegial environment, as well as a very close cooperation with industry.
