Who you are
We’re looking for someone at the top of their abilities. Although we think this probably means you have a Bachelors or MSc in biochemistry/chemistry (or a related field), this is not a requirement. A number of years of working experience in a commercial lab is advantageous. Hands on experience as well as theoretical knowledge of basic protein biochemistry is also a plus. 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, 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!
