Ph3About the role /h3 pYou strongly support our mass spectrometry facilities in the day-to-day operation of our MS facility, with a particular focus on hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) but also intact mass and other standard LC-MS analyses. With your fast, accurate and well-organized way of working you ensure and substantially increase the throughput of our analytical pipeline. You prepare samples, execute MS analyses on LC-MS and HDX-MS workflows under the guidance of our Principal Scientist Mass Spectrometry, and contribute your experience in organizing and maintaining laboratory workflows to ensure smoothly running lab operations. Candidates should bring prior experience in mass spectrometry; however, not all activities described must already have been performed in a previous role. We value a strong foundation and the motivation to learn, with opportunities to grow and build further expertise on the job. You work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative and team‑oriented startup environment with a strong commitment to delivering results in innovative ways that transcend traditional industry boundaries. /p h3What you’ll do /h3 ul liSupport in setting up, maintaining, and running the Mass Spectrometry facility, ensuring instruments, consumables, and shared resources are kept in optimal working condition. /li liSupport the design, planning, and execution of HDX‑MS experiments on single proteins and protein–protein or protein–ligand complexes related to cancer, neurodegenerative, and other diseases. /li liPerform sample preparation and execution of MS analyses under the guidance of our Principal Scientist, with a particular focus on HDX‑MS experiments, but also intact mass, ion mobility, and standard LC‑MS analyses. /li liOperate instrumentation in the mass spec facility, including handling of the LC system, stopped‑flow, robotic HDX devices and the mass spectrometer. /li liPerform basic data processing and quality control of HDX‑MS, intact mass, and other LC‑MS dataset, and report results to our Principal Scientist. /li liEnsure that experimental data, protocols, and observations are accurately documented in the electronic lab notebook (ELN) daily. /li liKeep the lab inventory updated: order, receive, and track consumables, reagents, columns, solvents, and spare parts for the MS facility, and manage stocks to avoid downtime. /li liParticipate in the preparation, revision and maintenance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for sample preparation, instrument operation, and routine analytical workflows. /li liPerform routine instrument maintenance, basic troubleshooting and scheduled calibration; coordinate with engineers and vendors for preventive maintenance and repairs. /li liContribute to the general operation, organization, cleanliness, and safety of the MS laboratory facilities, including handling of chemicals, solvents, and biological samples. /li liOperate and maintain auxiliary lab equipment such as pipetting robots, centrifuges, balances, pH meters, and -80 °C freezers. /li liHelp in establishing and maintaining good laboratory practices and ensure compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards. /li liShare responsibility within the team in terms of defining objectives and meeting pre-set deadlines, and manage multiple time‑dependent operations in parallel. /li liCarry out any other relevant duties as may reasonably be associated with the position, and which may be required from time to time. /li /ul h3What you bring to the team /h3 ul liPrevious experience with Mass Spectrometry applications is a must. /li liSolid understanding of chromatographic principles and of the handling of biological samples and buffers. /li liDemonstrated hands‑on experience in a mass spectrometry laboratory, with practical knowledge of sample preparation for protein MS analyses. /li liExperience with LC‑MS instrumentation and MS‑related software for operating the instruments and for basic data processing and evaluation. /li liHands‑on experience with HDX‑MS workflows (e.g., automated HDX systems, peptic digestion, low‑temperature/low‑pH handling) is a strong plus. /li liExperience with ELN systems and proficiency in standard office software (MS Office) for data evaluation, reporting and presentation. /li liExperience with intact mass analyses is a plus. /li liVocational education as a laboratory technician /li liA master’s degree in biochemistry, chemistry, biotechnology, biology or a related science is required. /li liAt least two years of experience in a similar role or related laboratory experience is required, ideally in an industry or core facility setting. /li /ul h3Who you are /h3 ul liHighly proactive mindset to solve technical problems and to support instrument troubleshooting and maintenance. /li liStrong scientific and organizational skills with great attention to detail, accuracy, and reproducibility. /li liYou work independently /li liYou are a great team player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. /li liYou are driven by integrity, enthusiasm, motivation, flexibility, confidence, and excellent collaboration skills. /li liYou’re open‑minded and eager to learn new techniques and instruments. /li liFluency in spoken and written English is mandatory.
