Postdoc Isotope Chemistry Full-time

The Position

Join us in advancing cutting-edge radiolabelled compound analytics.

In your new role as a Postdoc, you will focus on analytical method comparison for the characterization of labelled compounds and the assessment of radiochemical stability. By integrating HPLC and LC-MS workflows, you will help establish robust approaches for specific activity determination and generate high-quality scientific insights. You will also contribute to method harmonization initiatives and the development of predictive stability models for tritiated compounds, driving innovation and excellence across research activities.

If you are passionate about analytical science and eager to make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply today.

This position has a hybrid setup with approximately 3-4 days per week on site.

This Position is limited for 2 years.

Note: To make it easier to find our job advertisements, we use the usual designation “postdoc”. Of course, this advertisement is not only addressed to applicants directly after completing their doctorate, but to all qualified candidates.

Tasks & Responsibilities

• In your new role, you will develop, evaluate, and compare analytical methods for the characterization of labelled compounds, with a particular focus on radiochemical stability assessment.
• You will integrate HPLC and LC-MS analytical workflows to establish robust and reliable approaches for specific activity determination of radiolabelled compounds.
• Furthermore, you will also investigate radiochemical degradation pathways and contribute to the development of predictive stability models for tritiated compounds.
• You will drive the harmonization and standardization of analytical methodologies across radiochemistry projects to ensure data quality, consistency, and regulatory compliance.
• In addition, you will interpret complex analytical datasets and communicate findings through scientific reports, presentations, and cross-functional collaborations to support radiolabelled compound development.
• Finally, you will collaborate with radiochemists, analytical scientists, and DMPK researchers to advance innovative analytical solutions and support the development of high-quality radiolabelled compounds for preclinical and clinical studies.

Requirements

• PhD degree in chemistry or a related discipline
• Experience in working with radioactivity, ideally in the field of C-14
• Strong background in analytics methods for radioactive material
• Ability to independently plan and carry out studies and laboratory work
• Experience in working with teams
• Very good oral communication skills as well as scientifical writing and documentation competencies in English
