Laboratory Technician – Peptide Chemistry in a High-Throughput Discovery Environment

Do you want to take part in peptide drug discovery and thrive in a dynamic, high-throughput laboratory environment?

If you are skilled in peptide synthesis and enjoy supporting innovation across disciplines, this role could be an excellent fit for you. At Gubra, you will see your efforts directly impact ongoing research projects, partnerships, and our growing drug discovery pipeline. And you will do so in a collaborative environment where colleagues are eager to help, share knowledge, and drive things forward.

Help deliver high-quality peptides to drive our drug discovery projects forward

As Laboratory Technician in our Chemistry department, your role will focus on supporting peptide synthesis and purification, operating automated workflows, and contributing to a well-run high-throughput laboratory. You will work closely with both Scientists and fellow Laboratory Technicians to ensure high-quality peptide production that enables rapid project progression.

Gubra is looking for a Laboratory Technician to join our Chemistry department. You will be part of a strong team working with peptide chemistry and support our peptide drug discovery pipeline. If you are motivated by working in a multi-disciplinary environment, you should come and join us at Gubra. You will fill a new position in our growing Chemistry department.

Your tasks as Laboratory Technician are diverse and include

• Automated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).
• Peptide purification by RP-HPLC.
• Characterization and analysis of peptides by UPLC-MS and UPLC-CAD.
• Liquid handling using automated liquid handlers (supporting task).
• Data processing and documentation.
• Instrument maintenance.
• Contributing to the implementation of high-throughput laboratory processes to optimize workflows.
• Supporting a wide range of parallel tasks in a fast-paced laboratory setting.

Certified Laboratory Technician with hands-on peptide synthesis experience

As part of an organization built on collaboration, knowledge sharing, and scientific rigor, you must enjoy teamwork and be comfortable juggling many tasks in an ever-evolving environment. You thrive in a high-throughput setup, where structure and prioritization are key, and where ongoing input from colleagues is part of everyday progress.

Your resume ideally includes

• A certified laboratory technician diploma or similar
• Hands-on experience with peptide synthesis (required)
• Knowledge of automated synthesis and solid-phase synthesis
• Technical understanding of HPLC systems and peptide purification
• Experience with data handling, documentation, and reporting
• Good communication skills in both Danish and English
• A collaborative mindset and motivation to contribute across shared workflows

Gubra is an ambitious contract research organisation (CRO) and biotech company striving for excellence at all levels. We insist on doing things efficiently – and often differently - to reach the results we aim for. Our vision is to become leaders in the fight for a more sustainable and healthier world. We do that by facilitating the discovery of new medicine, and by acting and inspiring others to fight the ongoing climate and biodiversity crises.

Gubra's activities are focused on the early stages of drug development and are organised in two highly synergistic business areas: CRO Services and Discovery & Partnerships (D&P). We generate our revenue by performing research for life science companies as well as by partnering projects from our discovery and development pipeline.

Our therapeutic focus is within metabolic and fibrotic diseases, and we specialize in in vivo pharmacology, ex vivo assays, drug profiling, histology, stereology and whole brain and organ imaging. In addition, we offer a full palette of advanced transcriptomics. Our ML/AI-driven peptide drug discovery platform streaMLine enables us to rapidly develop a peptide hit into a non-clinical candidate ready for development. Through a constant focus on high quality, scientific excellence, speed, and solid teamwork we have established ourselves as a highly professional and competent partner in the market.

People are our greatest asset, and our team consists of +280 employees all located in Hørsholm, Denmark.
