We are looking for a Research Engineer to become part of our team at the Division of Food and Nutrition Science, Department of Life Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology. Join our innovative team and contribute to exciting research in life sciences in a collaborative and dynamic environment.Information about the Division and the DepartmentThe Department of Life Sciences aims to bridge groundbreaking life science research with biochemical engineering, in order to emerge as the leading innovation center in the region. The research has broad applications in areas of health and industrial production of e.g. fine chemicals, food and energy. The department offers highly qualified education for engineering students within the area of bioengineering. It is furthermore collaborating in broad, interdisciplinary national and international networks within academia and the industry.The Division of Food and Nutrition Science is one of four research divisions at the Department of Life Sciences. It is one of the leading units in the area in Sweden with particular strengths in nutritional and computational metabolomics, dietary biomarkers, micronutrient metal nutrition, nutritional immunology, marine food science, plant-based foods and nutrition as well as food by-product biorefining and protein technology. The division has a wide range of modern analytical equipment for chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, an in vitro human cell laboratory, and food technology laboratory. The division focuses on nutritional solutions for health and disease prevention by studies on the molecular, cellular, and whole-body level. It also has a strong focus on sustainable use of food raw materials and on many different quality aspects of food.Job DescriptionAs a Research Engineer, you will provide analytical and technical support to the ongoing research at the Food and Nutrition Science Division. Your responsibilities will include development of methods, analysis of samples, and maintenance of instruments at the division. You will also have a responsibility to train undergraduate students, PhD-students, and postdocs within a range of analytical techniques, particularly in chromatography and mass spectrometry.In this role, you will interact in project groups with senior researchers, PhD-students, postdocs, students as well as with external guests, e.g. from industry and/or other institutions. You will be expected to collaborate closely with other Research Engineers at the Division and Department and with specific analytical platforms at Chalmers, such as Chalmers Mass Spectrometry Infrastructure which is part of the national metabolomics infrastructure at SciLifelab.Depending on the experience and documented qualifications, the holder of the position can either be employed as a Research Engineer or as a Senior Research Engineer.Contract termsPermanent employmentQualificationsThe successful candidate fulfills the following requirements:Analytical chemistry on MSc-level or PhD-level or correspondingExpert competence in chromatographic techniques and mass spectrometryExperience from state-of-the-art sample preparation techniquesExperience from development and validation of analytical methods adapted to a broad set of sample matricesExperience from efficient reporting of analytical resultsExperience from instrument maintenanceVery good communication skills in verbal and written EnglishIt Is Meritorious If You Also Fulfill The FollowingExperience from analysis of a variety of biomasses, food and biological samples are meritoriousExperience from systematic quality assurance workExperience from biomass fractionation/different principles of food processingExperience from food analysisExperience from industrial collaborationsWhat we offerChalmers provides a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg.Chalmers aims to actively improve our gender balance.
