Job Description
As a member of Miltenyi’s R&D department you will be part of our Chemical Biology division and join our unique team that specializes in material sciences and cellular applications. You will work at the intersection of particle Chemistry, Cell Biology and Immunology. Your field of work covers the full range of research and development, from basic research into product development up to technology transfer to the production department. As a team player, you will be involved in interdisciplinary projects and highly collaborative teams.

Your responsibilities include:

• Designing and defining research tasks as a scientist, with a focus on bead chemistry and its applications in cellular biology.
• Maintaining communication and timelines as project manager, ensuring smooth coordination between different teams and stakeholders.
• Guiding and building a team as a leader, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.
• Developing new concepts, innovative technologies and cutting-edge applications that may develop into commercial products and healthcare solutions, particularly in the field of bead chemistry for cell applications.
