The ideal candidates should fulfill the following qualifications:

  • A relevant academic degree (M.Sc. or Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, or related fields).
  • Proven experience in operating and maintaining LC-MS instrumentation.
  • Experience with proteomics workflows, from sample prep to data analysis, is advantageous.
  • Expertise in Thermo Orbitrap and Bruker timsTOF operation is a distinct advantage.
  • Basic knowledge of MS data analysis.
  • Service-oriented personality with a strong team-player attitude.
  • Strong English communication skills, both oral and written.

Employment conditions
The employment is a 2-year fixed position with the possibility of extension. The estimated start date is November 2024. Working hours are 37 hours per week (full time).

The employment conditions and salary are made in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Employment will be as an academic employee or special consultant depending on qualifications.
