Dear colleagues,
A permanent position for a research technician (scientific associate, non-PhD level) is available immediately at Novartis in Basel. The description is attached below. Please note that this position is different and in addition to the PhD-level position which was advertised 2 weeks ago. The current position involves a broad range of biophysical methods, including NMR, SPR and crystallization, in addition to protein purification and characterization. While expertise in any of these techniques will be an advantage, training on the job will be provided for the other techniques. This should be a great opportunity for anyone with a masters or bachelors degree (or equivalent) and a strong desire to learn a broad range of biophysical methods.
If you are interested, or know anyone who is interested, please send me an email or apply online via www.novartis.com - careers - Job ID 72251BR.
