Scientist

Lead Science Projects in Pharmaceutical Innovation

Join a dynamic team in Basel at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation to drive life-changing treatments to the world. This role focuses on leveraging cutting-edge omics platforms to advance preclinical and translational research. You will work at the intersection of experimental biology, data science, and therapeutic discovery, contributing to the development of advanced experimental models and large-scale datasets for biological interpretation and target identification.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and roll out innovative protocols, with a focus on single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial multimodal applications, and multi-omics approaches.
• Perform experiments independently, analyze data, and generate high-quality reports.
• Ensure data generation adheres to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
• Collaborate with wet lab and bioinformatics teams to interpret complex sequencing datasets and provide actionable insights.
• Present protocols and results to internal stakeholders.

Essential Skills and Requirements

• Advanced degree (e.g., Master's) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with advanced molecular technologies, particularly Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows.
• Proficiency in molecular biology techniques, including nucleic acid extraction, PCR/qPCR, and NGS library preparation.
• Experience working with challenging clinical sample types (e.g., FFPE tissue, primary tumor cells, low-input samples).
• Strong enthusiasm for developing and refining experimental methods.
• Ability to independently conduct experiments, evaluate data, and communicate findings effectively.
• Exceptional collaboration skills, enabling effective teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment.
• Fluency in English and excellent communication skills.
• A proactive approach to building professional networks and thriving in dynamic environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with single-cell and spatial transcriptomics platforms.
