Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.

The Nanomaterials in Health department at Empa St. Gallen is a highly motivated team of biologists, chemists and bioinformaticians. Our aim is understanding and controlling the interactions between (nano)materials and biological systems. To this end, we develop practical, clinically and diagnostically relevant cell-based models such as co-cultures and organoids.

As a specialist in cell culture automation, you will be responsible for the end-to-end development and maintenance of complex cell cultures, from concept to implementation. Specifically, this includes:

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to develop concepts for automating complex cell culture processes using robotics
• Conduct needs analyses to define the required system specifications and functional requirements
• Support the Laboratory Head in evaluating, comparing and selecting suitable robotic systems and assist throughout the procurement process
• Lead the implementation of the selected system, including its configuration and the programming of automated workflows and procedures

We live a culture of inclusion and respect. We welcome all people who are interested in innovative, sustainable and meaningful activities - that's what counts.

We look forward to receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation, reporting on 1 - 2 representative tasks / experiences supporting your skills (see application process), CV, certificates, diplomas and contact details of two reference persons.
