You will be responsible for developing biomarker assay technologies in compliance with regulatory guidelines. This includes critically assessing performance, robustness, and suitability of proteomic assays for translational and clinical research. Working in an interdisciplinary R&D team, you will design, execute, and evaluate proteomics experiments, integrating new chromatographic approaches, instrumentation, and data analysis strategies. Clear scientific communication, independent data analysis, and effective visualization of results are essential for success in this role.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Development, optimization, and qualification of liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS) proteomics workflows (PRM, SRM, DIA)
- Evaluation and integration of new technologies including sample preparation, hardware and cutting-edge methods
- Contribution to LC-MS based protein biomarker assay validation in compliance with regulatory guidelines (i.e. ICH M10) and clinical use in context of regulated studies
- In depth analysis, interpretation, and visualization of quantitative proteomics data
- Operation and routine maintenance of high resolution mass spectrometers
- Act as technical lead for workflow development, troubleshooting, and SOP authoring
- Presentation of results and methods to internal teams, management, and external partners and conferences
YOUR PROFILE
- Degree in biotechnology, biochemistry, molecular biology, proteomics, or a bioanalytical field
- Master’s or PhD with strong practical experience in proteomics
- Hands‑on expertise in targeted proteomics (i.e. state of the art PRM, targeted DIA)
- In depth understanding of bioanalytical method validation (BMV) guidelines and their application to the development of innovative assay technologies
- Industry experience
- Familiarity with targeted proteomics software tools such as SpectroDive, Skyline
- Strong data analysis, interpretation, and visualization skills, ideally using R
- Independent, curious, and quality‑driven mindset with the ability to see the big picture and collaborate in cross-functional matrix teams
- Willingness to take ownership and responsibility for scientific work
- Excellent written and spoken English
