Job Description

Do you like a dynamic work environment with varying tasks that provide opportunities for professional as well as personal development?

The Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (DTU Bioengineering) is looking for an independent and enthusiastic laboratory technician with a flair for coordination and problem-solving for employment in the Section for Protein Science and Biotherapeutics (PSBT). 

Primary responsibilities
Your primary responsibilities will involve laboratory management, procurement and purchasing of chemicals and reagents, coordination of teaching activities for practical laboratory courses, and research support. Moreover, you will have a particular focus on Laser Capture Microdissection activities, and support active research in the field of spatial proteomics and transcriptomics. Your tasks will include maintenance of laboratories and equipment, training of students and new users, coordination and preparation for experimental courses, student and trainee supervision, and experimental work on different research projects.

You will be part of the section's technician team (consisting of ten technicians and trainees and a team leader). As part of the technician team, you support the section's diverse research and teaching activities, which span a range of topics and methods within biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology.

Your background and qualifications
We expect that you are a trained laboratory technician and see yourself as a generalist, who has experience with:

• biochemical, molecular biological, and/or cell biological methods, for example protein production, affinity chromatography, mass spectrometry-based techniques, PCR-based methods, molecular cloning, ELISAs, mammalian cell culture, or related methods and techniques
• supervision and instruction of students or trainees
• experience with laboratory or infrastructure management

Experience with handling of LC-MS/MS instrumentation, proteomics sample preparation and previous involvement with a Proteomics Core Facility environment is a distinct advantage.

Importantly, you have a can-do attitude and are a problem-solver who loves a challenge and thrives with coordination of multiple tasks. You are self-led and self-motivated, you can handle tasks independently, and you like engaging with a range of people and professions to produce the best possible teaching and research.

At DTU Bioengineering you will have many international colleagues. We therefore also expect that you are confident communicating in English, both verbally and in writing.

What we offer in return
DTU Bioengineering offers a flexible and dynamic work environment with good opportunities to develop both professionally and personally through the teaching and research activities.

You will work in a highly international environment and in collaboration with other employees be able to pursue novel workflows and methods in an ever-developing field biotechnology and biomedicine. You will be involved in a wide range of coordination tasks, which ensure that the section's teaching activities and cutting-edge research projects run smoothly perform to the highest standards.
