You will be involved in executing a variety of screening experiments, preparing samples, following established protocols, and contributing to the optimization of new methods as needed. A strong emphasis will be placed on maintaining high-quality documentation, including accurate record-keeping, data entry, and adherence to internal quality and safety standards.

You will work closely with a dynamic, collaborative, and highly driven research team, supporting ongoing projects while also taking ownership of independent tasks. The role requires a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt to evolving priorities in a fast-paced research environment.

If you are passionate about pioneering new solutions in infectious disease treatment, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey.

Your challenge:

● Implementing high-throughput screening approaches for drug candidates.

● Executing experiments to study bacterial resistance development.

● Following protocols to ensure the accuracy and reliability of experimental results.

● Writing based on templates comprehensive and detailed reports of experimental findings.

● Keeping accurate records of daily lab activities and results.

● Adhering to safety protocols and maintaining a clean, organized lab environment.

● Ensuring compliance with relevant laboratory safety and operational standards.

● Preparing media, buffers, and other essential lab materials.

● Routine bacterial passages and maintaining a diverse bacterial collection.

● Placing orders and managing laboratory inventory.

Qualifications and Experience:

● Master Degree in Molecular Biology, Microbiology or equivalent in a relevant field.

● A minimum of 3 years work experience in a BSL1 lab is required, experience with pathogenic bacteria (BSL2) is preferred.

● Working knowledge of aseptic techniques.

● Experience with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

● Familiarity with laboratory quality systems is advantageous.

● Strong understanding of bacterial cultivation and related laboratory techniques.

● Experience in mammalian cell culturing is advantageous.

● Excellent command of English (both written and spoken); knowledge of Finnish is beneficial.

● Exceptional attention to detail, organizational skills, and a strong work ethic.

Are you missing some of the above-mentioned skills? Don’t worry, we also developed some of them while working and we can provide guidance and/or training on specific topics. However, solid laboratory experience in a microbiological laboratory is vital.

What We Offer:

Science that can make a difference. Antimicrobial resistance is rapidly becoming one of the biggest medical and societal challenges of our time, with 4.7 million associated deaths in 2021, a number that is still rapidly rising. Arivin Tx works on cutting-edge research to change the outcome of this crisis.

A competitive salary. As we search for excellent team members, we provide a salary to match it.

A supportive learning environment. As we are pioneering novel antimicrobial therapies, we all have lots to learn along the way. We provide additional opportunities such as courses and/or attendance to international conferences to catch up on the latest research developments.
