Technical Assistant (f/m/d) - Molecular Biology

Do you enjoy combining lab work with organization and innovation? Here is your chance to contribute to science that makes a difference!

We are looking for a Technical Assistant (f/m/d) with a strong background in molecular biology. This is a technically broad and demanding role: you will work across cell culture, CRISPR screens, molecular cloning, and NGS library preparation - all in the context of cutting-edge pediatric cancer research using patient-derived samples. If you thrive in a well-equipped lab, enjoy learning new techniques, and want your work to contribute directly to cancer research, this position is for you.

• Perform and maintain cell culture work (including patient-derived cell lines and iPSCs)

• Conduct CRISPR screens and CRISPR editing

• Plasmid cloning and lentiviral plasmid packaging

• Generate NGS libraries from patient samples (bulk and single-cell-seq)

• Ensure accurate documentation of experiments and contribute to structured lab organization and workflow optimization

What you bring for this position:

• MSc or PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field (completed or close to completion)

• Proven experience in mammalian cell culture

• Experience with CRISPR/CRISPRi/a and/or NGS library preparation is a strong advantage

• Previous experience in a research laboratory (e.g. research assistant, lab technician) is beneficial

• Structured, proactive working style with strong organizational skills

• High level of reliability and ability to work both independently and collaboratively

• Excellent English communication skills (written and spoken); German is not required

State-of-the-Art Facilities: Benefit from access to infrastructure that supports your research and daily work

Translational Research: Work directly with patient-derived tumor samples and in vitro models in a group that bridges wet-lab and computational science

Inclusive & Purpose-Driven: Be part of an international workplace with a meaningful mission

Collaborative Spirit: Join a young, motivated team that values open exchange, creativity and initiative

Flexibility that fits your life: Benefit from flexible working hours, home office options and additional days off

Prime Location: Work in the heart of Vienna - a European hub for biomedical research and a city known for its high quality of life
