Analist iPS core facility

As a Research Analyst/Lab Technician at the Erasmus MC iPS Core Facility, you will be involved in generating iPSC lines from healthy and patient-derived cell material, to be used as model systems in research. In addition, you will participate in the characterization and quality control of the newly generated iPSC lines.

The Erasmus MC iPS Core Facility is part of the Core Facility Research Program and supports stem cell research for investigators both within and outside Erasmus MC.

Together with your fellow Research Analysts/Lab Technicians, you will culture primary cells from patient material and subsequently reprogram them into induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) on behalf of researchers.

You will be involved in the characterization and quality control of the iPSC lines using various techniques, such as immunofluorescence, FACS, and RT-PCR.

You will work according to SOPs and study protocols, and be responsible for maintaining the biobank and processing experimental results.

The analist we are looking for is able to follow protocols with precision, while remaining flexible when situations require adaptation. You are adaptable, proactive, and have a service-oriented mindset. You have strong skills in planning and data archiving. You can work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

• You have completed a Bachelor's-level laboratory education (HLO) and have 0 to 2 years of practical experience in a research lab or biotech company.
• You have a strong affinity for cell culture.
• You have good communication skills and are fluent in both Dutch and English.
• You are available to work according to a rotating schedule.

You will be working at the iPS Core Facility, where we are a small team with an informal and open atmosphere, in which collaboration and mutual support come naturally. Clear communication, open discussion, and well-structured organization are essential in our daily work, allowing us to strengthen each other and continuously learn together.

Our focus is on delivering high-quality work, with precision and accuracy at the core of everything we do. You will be working in a research-rich environment as part of the Department of Developmental Biology, with extensive interaction with various research groups. This provides variety and valuable learning experiences.

There are ample opportunities to grow both scientifically and professionally within an innovative and stimulating work environment.
