How will you contribute?

Precision medicines are foreseen to impact our health system in the next years with novel treatments that promise to address conditions such as cancer, rare diseases, and other serious disorders for which standard treatments fail. However, personalized treatments require additional analyses. In particular there is currently a bottleneck in the methods used for the personalization in the study of proteins that are limiting the access of novel treatments. LIST is engaged in the realm of precision medicines, using innovative methods for analysis to help scale up and promote the application of new therapies. To this purpose, LIST develops novel protein screening and analysis methods based on nanotechnology, new material applications and microfluidics.

To help with this effort, we are searching for a Research and Technology associate with a multidisciplinary background who can contribute to a wide range of challenges:

You are expected to actively participate in fund raising your own projects, as well as providing input and support other team members' ideas and projects.

You will have to be ready to manage entire work packages coordinating research teams and communicating with outside partners.

On the internal front, you are expected to be capable of the management of lab activities, guaranteeing both task performance in the labs and collaboration between lab members.

You are expected to contribute to the production of prototypes to advance from science to technology demonstrators that facilitate the proof of LIST contribution to innovation in the field of MedTech.

You will be working in peptide synthesis, electrochemistry. In general, a broad understanding of laboratory equipment will be highly valued.
