Scientist in Strain Development and Genetic Engineering (m/f/d) / Wissenschaftler für Molekularbiologie und Gentechnik (m/w/d)

Location: Freiburg im Breisgau

Responsibilities

You will join our Strain Development Department and work closely with the Cell Culture section and other R&D teams as part of a collaborative group of seven coworkers. You will contribute your genetic engineering expertise to R&D and cross‑functional projects, designing, executing, and analyzing molecular biology experiments. You will develop and optimise constructs for gene expression, modification, or knockout and validate them using transient expression systems. You will independently plan and perform genetic engineering workflows, troubleshoot challenges, and generate high‑quality data to support strain development goals. You will help to identify and evaluate new genetic engineering‑related technologies and, depending on your skill set, support bioinformatics or deep‑learning activities. You will prepare clear documentation, reports, and presentations and contribute to maintaining ISO‑compliant quality standards. You will provide full disciplinary and scientific leadership for two technical assistants and support training of students or interns. You will work closely with other departments and contribute to a positive, team‑oriented R&D environment.

Qualifications

• A Master\’s degree or Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, or a related field.
• Several years of hands‑on experience in genetic engineering – minimum 5 years with a Master’s or 2 years with a Ph.D. – including construct design for eukaryotic systems.
• Sound knowledge of molecular biology techniques and relevant biosafety regulations.
• Experience with data analysis, design of experiments, and sequence analysis tools for in silico cloning; bioinformatics or deep‑learning skills are a plus.
• A structured, solution‑oriented working style, strong communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
• Fluency in German and English and proficiency in MS Office 365.
