  • 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
