description du poste

Are you passionate about cutting-edge chemistry and advanced synthesis technologies? We are looking for a Research Scientist to advance light-driven oligonucleotide synthesis through innovative photochemical optimization and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Your Mission

You will play a key role in developing and optimizing light-directed oligonucleotide synthesis processes, enabling rapid, efficient, and spatially confined photochemical reactions. This role bridges chemistry, materials science, and system integration to support next-generation synthesis platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Characterize and optimize photochemical and chemical parameters to enable robust light-directed oligonucleotide synthesis
• Investigate and analyze material properties to precisely control light exposure and confine photochemical reactions
• Define technical specifications for integrating photochemical reactions into tool architectures, from intermediate prototypes to scaled-up system models
• Lead and coordinate oligonucleotide library synthesis activities, including:
• Performance evaluation and quality control
• Cross-validation with external partners and service providers
• Oversight of deprotection, release, formulation, and packaging processes

Your Profile

• Strong academic background in Chemistry; hands-on experience in Materials Science or Photochemistry is a strong asset
• Proven expertise in DNA synthesis, analysis, or related biochemical workflows
• Genuine passion for laboratory research and experimental innovation
• Self-motivated team player who thrives in a multidisciplinary environment combining biology, chemistry, photonics, and micro-electronics
• Excellent written and spoken English
