Your Impact :

• Prepare and synthesize reagents for biochip production processes
• Support surface functionalization and immobilization procedures on microstructured substrates
• Perform routine analytical testing including spectroscopy, pH measurements, and concentration analysis
• Assist with quality control procedures and maintain accurate process documentation
• Ensure laboratory cleanliness and adherence to standard operating procedures
• Work collaboratively with laboratory team members and support process improvement initiatives

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a Munich University in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Materials Science, or related field
• Basic knowledge of laboratory techniques and analytical methods (spectroscopy, pH measurement)
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and ability to follow SOPs
• Good communication skills and willingness to learn new techniques

Benefits

• Hands-on research experience in an interdisciplinary team with cutting-edge biotechnology projects
• Start-up environment with real growth opportunities and collaborative, partnership-based culture
