We primarily use liquid chromatography as separation technique and mass spectrometry, UV, infrared spectroscopy, and light scattering for detection. We are active in many projects to accelerate mode of action understanding and to improve the chemical characterization of existing and future enzymatic and microbial products.

Explorative Biochemical Analytics is a multinational department where we emphasize good collaboration, room for all of us, and where we help each other. We value the good communication between researchers, laboratory technicians and students. We work closely together to solve our tasks.

In this role you will make a difference by;

As our new research scientist your daily work will be a combination of optimizing digital workflows, supporting our local data capture systems and hands-on-work in the analytical laboratory analyzing samples, troubleshooting, build new methods, data analysis, visualization of the results and project interaction.

Your role will be dual and you will work with data science by programming and optimization of our digital data workflows as well as working in the laboratory with analytical chemistry and biochemistry. We expect you to work in close collaboration with our sister department, Core Biochemical Analytics, especially on the data science part.

Optimize sample extraction procedures for various complex matrices such as dairy and bacterial fermentations
Use advanced data analytical tools to extract information from the data generated to visualize and communicate results

To succeed in this position, you must hold;
Preferably you hold a Ph D or have similar experiences and have worked a few years with analytical chemistry or biochemistry. Natural flair and interest in data handling is a must. Experience with macromolecule chemistry such as proteins and carbohydrates together with hands-on instrument troubleshooting and method development is an advantage.

You are a superior team player, good at communicating with colleagues in the laboratory as well as with collaborators outside the team. You are fluent in both spoken and written English, you have a flexible mindset, and thrive with changing tasks and expertise areas.

Further, you preferably have:

2 to 5 years work experience
Practical experience using Python, R, SASJMP, Sample Manager and/or Benchling
Hands-on experience using FT-IR and multivariate analysis
Hand-on experience with one or more of following technologies; Lab Chip, HR-MS-MALDI, AF4-MALS, LC, GC, IC and MS systems
Experience in sample purification of small molecules or macromolecules from complex matrices

We do not expect you to have all of the above-mentioned skills, but we look forward to hearing from you if you have experience with some of these.
