Engineer-Researcher in analytical chemistry

Job description: Title: Integration of an analytical protocol for the characterization of nanoparticles Our technological development project aims to develop a new concept for characterizing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that carry biomolecules. More specifically, the goal is to verify the analytical performance of an integrated approach compared to a conventional laboratory approach. Your mission will be to characterize the composition of cargo loaded LNPs in accordance with established specifications. Your contribution will draw on the team's expertise in integrating analytical chemistry protocols into microfluidic systems and system instrumentation, with a view to gradually mastering the entire characterization process. You will be responsible for establishing and adapting protocols to these architectures, then testing and optimizing them based on conventional separation and analysis approaches (HPLC, UPLC). You will be responsible for qualifying the analytical performance of the developed system (quality control, statistical analysis). You will thus participate in the evolution of the test benches towards an integrated automated characterization platform. You will work within teams specializing in chemistry, microfluidics, biochemistry, and optics.

Institute description: Microfluidics contributes to the development of new tools for research, quality control, detection, and diagnosis. In the field of healthcare, microfluidics aims to bring about personalized medicine at the patient's bedside.

Your profile: Très motivé(e) pour faire partie d'un projet dynamique et multidisciplinaire dans un environnement de pointe, vous avez une formation en chimie analytique avec une expérience en HPLC et/ou UPLC ainsi qu’une maitrise des outils statistiques de contrôle qualité. Une expérience en analyse de lipides ou de biomolécules, en vectorisation de LNP ou en microfluidique serait un plus. Vous parlez anglais ou français et faites preuve de bonnes compétences en communication pour faire part régulièrement de vos résultats à l'ensemble de l'équipe du projet.
