has ambitious plans to keep learning and growing – and is seeking people who have the same goals for themselves.
The Position
GLYCART biotechnology AG, a 100% affiliate of Roche Pharmaceuticals, is active in the research, development
and commercialization of new potent antibody-based products for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease.
We offer a stimulating and truly international environment. Glycart is located in Schlieren/Zurich.
To further strengthen our organization we are looking for a
Research Associate in Antibody Engineering
Who you are
You’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You’re looking for a company where you have
the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies, and where a job title is not considered
the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.
In this position (limited for three years, but renewable) you will join a team devoted to the production and purification
of antibodies and other recombinant proteins. You will be responsible for expressing and purifying antibodies
and proteins for internal research projects, as well as for external research collaborations. For this demanding
position in a dynamic environment, we are looking for a Research Associate who holds a Bachelor or equivalent
degree or a Lab technician in Biochemistry/Biotechnology. Hands-on experience with mammalian cell
culture and purification techniques is required. Familiarity with Protein analysis (SDS-PAGE, Western Blot and
ELISA) is advantageous. Fluency in English is a must, German would be an asset. You have a high degree of selfmotivation,
flexibility and are able to independently conduct experiments. You are also inquisitive and strive for
continuous process improvement. In addition you interact effectively with a truly multinational team of scientists.
If you are interested in working in an environment that is challenging and rewarding, we’re interested in hearing
from you!

Postdoctoral Position in the molecular mechanisms and dynamics of lymphocyte activation which is for an initial four-year appointment at Freiburg
The Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology in Freiburg, and the Exzellenzcluster bioss of the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany,
invites applications for a Postdoctoral Position which is for an initial four-year appointment with the possibility of extension.
The position is available from the 1st of June in the Department of Molecular Immunology (Contact persons: Prof. Dr. Michael Reth and PD Dr. Wolfgang Schamel).
The project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms and dynamics of lymphocyte activation. One focus will be the interactions of the antigen receptors with the intracellular signalling machinery. Applicants should have experience in at least one of the following fields: biochemistry, molecular biology, protein purification and proteomics techniques, flow cytometry,
signal transduction pathways, T- and B-cell activation. Payment and social benefits will be in accordance with the regulations of the German TVöD (salary agreement for public service employees) or a postdoctoral fellowship of the Max-Planck Society. Women are especially encouraged to apply and handicapped applicants with equal qualification will be given preferential treatment. A childcare facility is attached to the Institute.
