About The Role

At Navinci, we are passionate about understanding biology and disease at a deeper level. We develop technologies and applications that help researchers study proteins, signaling pathways, cellular biology, and molecular mechanisms directly in biological samples. Our work spans tissue and cell‑based systems and increasingly combines information from multiple technologies and data types to generate richer biological insight. We collaborate with leading academic groups, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical partners worldwide to advance research and translational science.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for 2–3 scientists with different backgrounds and expertise to join our R&D team. We are interested in people who are excited by science, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to contribute to the development of innovative research tools and technologies. Whether your background is in cell biology, tissue biology, spatial biology, immunology, biomarker research, assay development, translational science, omics technologies, or technology development, we would love to hear from you.

What You Will Do

• Design, execute, optimize, and troubleshoot biological assays and laboratory experiments
• Analyze and interpret data, generate robust and reproducible results, and communicate clear conclusions
• Document experimental work according to quality standards and contribute to scientific decision‑making
• Collaborate across R&D, Operations, and Commercial teams
• Support development of new applications, products, technologies, and improved ways of working

Must‑Have Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Medical Science, or a related field
• Hands‑on experience with immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and other in situ staining and detection methods
• Experience working with both tissue samples and cell‑based models
• Experience designing, executing, and troubleshooting biological experiments
• Strong skills in data analysis and presentation, experimental planning, and scientific documentation
• Fluent in English, written and spoken

Experience in One or More of the Following Areas

• Cell culture and primary cell models
• RNA‑based methods, transcriptomics, or other omics technologies
• Flow cytometry
• Multiplex imaging, microscopy, image analysis, or digital pathology
• Protein biomarker analysis and antibody‑based assays
• Assay, application, or product development
• Translational research, biomarker discovery, or disease biology (e.g., oncology, immunology, neuroscience)
• Statistical analysis, automation, quality systems
• Industrial R&D, scientific publications, grant writing or patent‑related activities

Who You Are

• Curious, innovative, and eager to solve scientific challenges
• Agile and adaptable, with the ability to work in a fast‑moving environment
• Structured, organized, and committed to high scientific quality
• Hands‑on, proactive, and solution‑oriented
• Collaborative, supportive, and comfortable taking ownership of your work
