Who you are
We’re looking for someone at the top of their abilities. Although we think this probably means you have MSc in analytical chemistry, chemical engineering, chemistry or a related field, this is not a requirement. Experience in hardware maintenance and method development is advantageous. Candidates that are truly outstanding with other backgrounds will also be considered.
In terms of personal qualities, we’re looking for someone who is passionate about their work, who gets things done without anyone telling them to, and who wants to push boundaries. And, not least, who is also a friendly, cooperative person. If this describes you, you’ll fit in with the rest of the team!
