Job Description:

Your mission

• Develop and optimize lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for the delivery of nucleic acids (DNA, and DNA nanostructures).
• Design and perform experiments to improve LNP encapsulation efficiency, stability, and payload integrity, including analytical methods (e.g. DLS, zeta potential, RiboGreen assay).
• Integrate bioconjugation strategies (e.g., lipid-/DNA-antibody, -peptide, -polymer conjugates) for targeted delivery applications, including purification and analytical methods (e.g., FPLC, HPLC, LC-MS, gel electrophoresis).
• Troubleshoot formulation and analytical challenges and contribute innovative solutions to advance R&D projects.
• Coordinate with internal and external partners to support project progress and knowledge exchange.
• Document experimental procedures and results, and present findings to internal stakeholders and external collaborators.

Your profile

• Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nanotechnology, or a related field.
• Practical experience in LNP formulation and characterization, ideally with nucleic acid payloads.
• Solid knowledge of analytical techniques such as DLS, zeta potential, HPLC, LC-MS, and gel electrophoresis.
• Experience with bioconjugation methods (antibodies, DNA, peptides, or polymers) is a strong plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently as well as in a team.
• Excellent communication skills in English (oral and written).
• A valid work permit for Germany.
