Research Technician

Welcome to inBiomeAt inbiome, we are building the next generation of clinical microbiology diagnostics. Bacteria shape human health in profound ways, yet clinicians are still required to make high-stakes decisions with incomplete microbial information. We are on a mission to change that.Our Molecular Culture assay is a same-day, IVDR-certified technology for broad bacterial identification in sterile site infections. We are preparing the launch of our Bloodstream Infection (BSI) application and advancing a focused R&D pipeline that includes rapid fungal diagnostics and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) solutions.We work closely with more than 20 leading hospitals across Europe and the United States to ensure our assays are clinically relevant, rigorously validated, and embedded in real-world care pathways.Inbiome is a fast-growing scale-up located in the Amsterdam Science Park. Our international team of around 30 colleagues works as a tightly integrated team, combining molecular biology, data science, and software development to deliver solutions that transform how biological challenges are understood, analysed, and solved.We are now looking for a Research Technician to join our Research & Development TeamAbout the Role: As a Research Technician, you will contribute directly to the development of innovative molecular diagnostic products used in demanding clinical environments. This is a hands-on role that combines experimental design, laboratory execution and data analysis within a dynamic and collaborative R&D setting. You will work across multiple projects simultaneously, adapting to evolving priorities while maintaining high scientific and operational standards. Your work will be essential in advancing the development, optimization and validation of molecular assays.Key responsibilities: ·      Design, plan, and execute in vitro experiments to support the development, optimization and validation of molecular assays·      Perform hands-on laboratory work including nucleic acid extraction, PCR/qPCR, capillary electrophoresis and related molecular biology techniques·      Analyze and interpret experimental data, ensuring accurate, structured documentation and clear reporting in line with internal standards·      Contribute to continuous improvement of assays, laboratory methods, and workflows·      Collaborate across teams and contribute to multiple projects in a dynamic environment with changing prioritiesRequirements: ·      HLO, BSc or MSc degree in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biomedical Sciences, Biotechnology, or a related field·      At least 4 years hands-on laboratory experience, preferably within an R&D and industry setting·      Practical experience with techniques in molecular biology (e.g. nucleic acid extraction PCR, qPCR, NGS) and microbiology·      A strong research mindset, including experience with experimental design, troubleshooting, and data interpretation·      High level of accuracy and attention to detail, particularly in data handling, documentation, and reporting·      Ability to manage multiple projects and adapt quickly to changing priorities in a dynamic R&D environment·      Proactive, flexible team player who can also work independently·      Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and disciplines·      inbiome is an international company so English is required.We offer: ·      A dynamic role within a professional, friendly and international team·      Competitive Salary including a 13th month·      Opportunities for personal development and expansion of technical knowledge ·      An informal working atmosphere with room for initiative·      inbiome organises regular team social eventsPlease apply by sending your resume and motivation letter to careers@inbiome.com we ask you to ensure you fit the profile & have the right skills and experience and that you have a valid work permit for the Netherlands.PLEASE DO NOT APPLY VIA LINKEDIN, ONLY APPLICATIONS VIA THE ABOVE ADDRESS WILL BE CONSIDERED.For now, we are not interested to receive calls from agencies, and we will only respond to short list candidates.Join inBiome and help build the future of microbiology diagnostics!
