Are you passionate about cutting-edge chemistry and advanced synthesis technologies? We are looking for a Research Scientist to advance light-driven oligonucleotide synthesis through innovative photochemical optimization and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Your Mission
You will play a key role in developing and optimizing light-directed oligonucleotide synthesis processes, enabling rapid, efficient, and spatially confined photochemical reactions. This role bridges chemistry, materials science, and system integration to support next-generation synthesis platforms.
Key Responsibilities
Characterize and optimize photochemical and chemical parameters to enable robust light-directed oligonucleotide synthesis
Investigate and analyze material properties to precisely control light exposure and confine photochemical reactions
Define technical specifications for integrating photochemical reactions into tool architectures, from intermediate prototypes to scaled-up system models
Lead and coordinate oligonucleotide library synthesis activities, including:
Performance evaluation and quality control
Cross-validation with external partners and service providers
Oversight of deprotection, release, formulation, and packaging processes
Your Profile
Strong academic background in Chemistry; hands-on experience in Materials Science or Photochemistry is a strong asset
Proven expertise in DNA synthesis, analysis, or related biochemical workflows
Genuine passion for laboratory research and experimental innovation
Self-motivated team player who thrives in a multidisciplinary environment combining biology, chemistry, photonics, and micro-electronics
Excellent written and spoken English
