**The Role & The Team**
Reporting to the Sr. Manager of Mass Spectrometry, we are seeking an exceptional Scientist to join our Mass Spectrometry team based in our European branch located in Bonn Germany. This group implements and develops the newest methods for proteomics molecular profiling leveraging Seer’s proprietary technology platform and the latest generation of mass spectrometers. The driving focus of this team, working closely with the data science and bioassay groups, is to acquire as much molecular profiling data as possible from Seer-technology derived samples in order to develop information that is key to a variety of downstream utility and value propositions.

**Responsibilities?&?Goals**
The Mass Spectrometry group is focused on using the latest MS and associated instrumentation for proteomics molecular profiling. Areas of specific responsibility and attention will include:

- Operate sophisticated analytical equipment including HPLCs and mass spectrometers.
- Participate in LCMS Method development and validation on Bruker, Thermo and Sciex instruments.
- Use remote communication tools to connect with core lab in Redwood shores, CA, for development and implementation.
- Basic MS data processing and data analysis.
- Use and maintain standard molecular biological laboratory equipment such as pipettes, centrifuges, pH meters, sonicator, etc.
- Prepare laboratory reagents and buffers.
- Carefully perform procedures on experimental samples derived from blood and blood products, urine, saliva, and other biological fluids or tissues.
- Perform routine calculations, data entry, and lab notebook maintenance, including electronic notebooks and other data annotation, curation, and storage formats.
- Prepare samples (biological fluids) for analytical measurement.
- Facilitate disposal of associated experimental workflow waste streams including organic solvents.
- Work closely with the data science group as well as interact, collaborate, and support other functional teams within the broader Seer Research, Development, and Clinical framework.

**Background?&?Qualifications**
Requirements include:

- A BS or MS degree or equivalent experience in a bench laboratory scientific discipline such as biochemistry, molecular biology, or analytical chemistry.
- Minimum 2 years of experience in an academic or life-sciences industry laboratory setting (biotech start-up experience preferred).?
- Experience with some form of complex laboratory instrumentation such as LCMS preferred, (notably on Thermo, SCIEX, and/or Bruker platforms).
- Strong attention to details.
- Strong written and oral communication skills, with demonstrated experience in cross-functional and timely communication.
- Strong and collaborative work ethic; must be a self-starter and persistent in achieving objectives to support Seer’s scientific and business goals.
- Must work well in a small team setting, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively, while meeting scheduled deadlines in a fast-paced environment
