This service facility is managed by Dr. Stefan Schüchner and Prof. Egon Ogris and provides a custom-designed monoclonal antibody service for the research community. In addition, we generate antibodies for our own research on protein phosphatase 2A as well as high-profile targets that we pick from the literature. Many of our antibodies have been licensed to biotech companies, amongst them the world-wide first CRISPR/Cas9 monoclonal antibody, 7A9-3A3. Currently we work e.g., on state-of-the-art antibodies against cancer-associated point mutant proteins.
We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated research technician, whose main duties will be the realization of monoclonal antibody projects, including the generation of recombinant antigens, immunizations of mice, collection and screening of sera, fusions of splenocytes and establishment of antibody-secreting hybridoma clones, cell culture, ELISA, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence. The duties also include the supervision of a mouse breeding colony, customer relationship management as well as general project and lab-management tasks.
Successful candidates must
hold a degree as e.g., “Chemisch-technische/r Assistant/in”, or equivalent
have practical experience in molecular biology and cell culture techniques
show high motivation and the ability for self-contained project implementation and execution as well as excellent teamwork skills
have a very good English proficiency (oral and written)
have experience with handling mice, ideally including a FELASA B certificate (or similar training for the work with mice), is a plus
A letter of interest, a copy of relevant certificates, a professional CV and the contact details of two references (pdf format)
