BioInnovation Institute
We are looking for an Imaging Mass Spectrometrist to join the SpaceM Bio Studio
Project at the BioInnovation Institute (BII) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The SpaceM project aims to develop and commercialize a recently invented technology for single–
cell metabolomics for drug discovery and precision medicine. The project PI is Dr. Theodore
Alexandrov from European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Heidelberg) who is a world leader in
single–cell metabolomics and was previously co–founder of a startup developing software in a
related field. The SpaceM project will further develop and streamline the technology, algorithms
and software to be applied to address key questions in drug discovery and precision medicine.
You will join a dynamic team of talented and experienced scientists and engineers excited to make
translational impact through development of novel technologies. We offer a start–up culture
focused on efficiency and collaborative work with minimal hierarchy and bureaucracy yet with
professional approach to project management. Integration of the project team in the BioInnovation
Institute Bio Studio provides attractive and competitive work conditions, multiple learning
opportunities, and involvement in a vibrant entrepreneurial network.
Your ownership of our mutual journey will be to:
• Operating and maintaining a cutting–edge MALDI imaging mass spectrometry system
• Developing and optimizing imaging mass spectrometry methods
• Setting up and executing QC approaches
• Performing MALDI–imaging analyses
• Together with other experimentalists and computational scientists, planning experiments as
well as streamlining samples preparation, data acquisition, and data analysis
• Performing data analysis together with data scientists
This role is based on a 3–year contract, with the possibility of an extension.
Your Professional & Personal Spirit
We are looking for a team member who has an MSc or PhD in analytical chemistry or another
related field, and experience and in–depth knowledge of mass spectrometry and untargeted
metabolomics.
